Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

To do business in Missouri, an LLC formed in Alaska registers there on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Alaska to Missouri, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Alaska takes days to issue it and Missouri wants it within 60 days, so the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It lists us as your Missouri 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 Missouri filing goes in. After approval, your Alaska LLC is registered with Missouri.

Will your Alaska name work for Missouri?

We search Missouri's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Missouri agent and the Alaska one

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

Yearly filings: Missouri and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Missouri has no annual report for LLCs. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Missouri

A corporation formed in Alaska files Form Corp 42 with Missouri ($155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10)). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Missouri into Alaska

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

Questions Alaska owners ask about Missouri

Does my Alaska company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Missouri law lists 7 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register an Alaska LLC in Missouri?

$304 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $314 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Missouri?

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

What if I don't register with Missouri?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Missouri yearly report, and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Alaska's filings stay in place.
