Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Arkansas

Arkansas registers an LLC from Alaska as a foreign LLC on Form FL-01, with $270 in state fees. Arkansas also asks for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no older than 30 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business and Commercial Services from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Alaska companies register with Arkansas

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Arkansas order. With Alaska taking days and Arkansas counting 30 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form FL-01
It lists us as your Arkansas registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Allow for the days Alaska takes to send the certificate before the Arkansas filing goes in. After approval, your Alaska LLC is registered with Arkansas.

Your Arkansas agent and the Alaska one

Alaska and Arkansas both call it a registered agent. Arkansas papers come to us; Alaska's agent is unchanged.

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arkansas wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Arkansas registration take?

Arkansas's standard processing takes three to five business days, plus a few days for Alaska's certificate before filing.

What if I don't register with Arkansas?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Arkansas can add a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Arkansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Arkansas for year one, with a street address there.

Will Arkansas 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 Arkansas LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report ($150), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Arkansas later?

Alaska companies leave by filing Form FL-04; until then, Arkansas's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
