From Alaska to Georgia, step by step

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It lists us as your Georgia registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Alaska first, so the Georgia filing can go in right away. Once Georgia approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Your Alaska name and Georgia's rules

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Agents: Georgia and Alaska

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

Yearly filings: Georgia and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Georgia wants the Annual Registration every year ($60). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

The other way: Georgia into Alaska

An LLC formed in Georgia that registers with Alaska files Form 08-0497 with $350 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Georgia

Does my Alaska company need to register in Georgia?

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

How much does the Georgia registration cost?

$434 at checkout, with nothing to pay Alaska.

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

No, Georgia takes Form CD 241 without it.

How long does the Georgia registration take?

Georgia's online processing takes about 7 business days; nothing comes from Alaska first. Paid expedite: 2-business-day $120, same-day $275.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Georgia?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Georgia's report ($60).

What if I don't register with Georgia?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
