Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Florida

To do business in Florida, an LLC formed in Alaska registers there on Form CR2E027, with $125 in state fees. Florida also asks for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no older than 90 days. We file it with the Department of State, Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Registration Section from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Alaska to Florida, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Florida order. With Alaska taking days and Florida counting 90 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form CR2E027
It names us as your Florida registered agent, with your Alaska name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Alaska certificate takes days to arrive, so the Florida filing waits for it. Once Florida approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for Florida?

Florida accepts your Alaska name if it includes Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC. If the Alaska name already ends in LLC, it meets the rule. If Florida's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Alaska company. Florida can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Florida agent and the Alaska one

Alaska and Florida both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Alaska; ours takes Florida's papers and notices.

Common questions: Alaska to Florida

Does my Alaska company need to register in Florida?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Florida law lists 13 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Florida registration cost?

$324 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $334 in all (checkout is $125 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Florida?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Florida's report ($138.75).

What if I don't register with Florida?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Florida can add a civil penalty of up to $1,000 and a fine of at least $500.

Does Florida require a registered agent?

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

Will Florida 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. Florida names must include Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC.

Can I form a new Florida LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Florida later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Notice of Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority ($25); until then, Florida's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
