From Alaska to Connecticut, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. With Alaska taking days and Connecticut counting 90 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Connecticut 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 Connecticut filing goes in. Once Connecticut approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Connecticut's paid expedite is optional and not in the total.

Agents: Connecticut and Alaska

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

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Connecticut

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Connecticut wants the Annual Report every year ($80). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Connecticut

A corporation formed in Alaska files its own registration with Connecticut ($385 in state fees). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Connecticut's Annual Report ($435). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Connecticut into Alaska

An LLC formed in Connecticut that registers with Alaska files Form 08-0497 with $350 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Legal Existence ($50). See that filing.

Questions Alaska owners ask about Connecticut

Does my Alaska company need to register in Connecticut?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Connecticut registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Connecticut registration cost?

$319 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $329 in all (checkout is $120 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Connecticut wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Connecticut?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Connecticut's report ($80).

What if I don't register with Connecticut?

Connecticut can charge an Alaska company a penalty of $300 for each month.

Does Connecticut require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Connecticut LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Connecticut later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (no state fee); until then, Connecticut's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
