How Alaska companies register with Arizona

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. With Alaska taking days and Arizona counting 60 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form L025
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Alaska certificate takes days to arrive, so the Arizona filing waits for it. After approval, your Alaska LLC is registered with Arizona.

Your Alaska name and Arizona's rules

If another Arizona company uses the Alaska name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Arizona's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Arizona agent and the Alaska one

Arizona calls it a statutory agent; Alaska says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Alaska; ours takes Arizona's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Arizona

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Arizona has no annual report for LLCs. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Arizona

A corporation formed in Alaska files Form C018 with Arizona ($178.85 in state fees and the $35 required expedite). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Arizona company in Alaska

Questions Alaska owners ask about Arizona

Does my Alaska company need to register in Arizona?

$387.30 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $397.30 in all (checkout is $153.30 in state fees, the $35 required expedite and our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite, plus a few days for Alaska's certificate before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and no Arizona yearly report.

What if I don't register with Arizona?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Arizona for year one.

Will Arizona accept my Alaska name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Alaska name at home.

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Arizona yearly report, and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

Alaska companies leave by filing Form L026 ($10); until then, both the Arizona registration and Alaska's filings stay in place.
