How Alaska companies register with Delaware

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Delaware order. With Alaska taking days and Delaware counting 180 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Delaware 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 Delaware filing goes in. Once Delaware approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Does Delaware require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Delaware LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Delaware later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Delaware's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
