Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Hawaii

Hawaii registers an LLC from Alaska as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $51 in state fees. Hawaii also asks for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division using your Alaska records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Alaska to Hawaii, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Hawaii order. With Alaska taking days and Hawaii counting 60 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your Hawaii registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Alaska certificate takes days to arrive, so the Hawaii filing waits for it. Once Hawaii approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Your Hawaii agent and the Alaska one

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

Yearly filings: Hawaii and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Hawaii wants the Foreign Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C6) every year ($15). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

The other way: Hawaii into Alaska

An LLC formed in Hawaii that registers with Alaska files Form 08-0497 with $350 in state fees, plus the Good Standing Certificate ($5). See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Hawaii

Does my Alaska company need to register in Hawaii?

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

How much does the Hawaii registration cost?

$250 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $260 in all (checkout is $51 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Hawaii wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Hawaii?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Hawaii's report ($15).

What if I don't register with Hawaii?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Hawaii require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Hawaii LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Hawaii later?

Alaska companies leave by filing Form FLLC-2; until then, Hawaii's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
