Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Idaho

An LLC formed in Alaska that wants to do business in Idaho files an online registration (no form number), with $103.50 in state fees. Idaho also wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services using your Alaska records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Alaska to Idaho, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. With Alaska taking days and Idaho counting 90 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Alaska certificate takes days to arrive, so the Idaho filing waits for it. After approval, your Alaska LLC is registered with Idaho.

Idaho costs for Alaska companies

Item	Amount
State fees, paid at order	$103.50

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

Your Alaska name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Alaska company. We search Idaho's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Idaho agent and the Alaska one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Idaho

A corporation formed in Alaska files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Idaho into Alaska

An LLC formed in Idaho 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 Idaho

Does my Alaska company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Idaho law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $312.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

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

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus a few days for Alaska's certificate before filing. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Idaho's report (no fee).

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho 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.

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement ($20); until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
