How Alaska companies register with New Jersey

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Alaska certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey 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 New Jersey filing goes in. Once New Jersey approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for New Jersey?

New Jersey accepts your Alaska name if it includes LTD Liability Co., LTD Liability Company, Limited Liability Co., Limited Liability Company or L.L.C.. If New Jersey's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Alaska company. We search New Jersey's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Jersey agent and the Alaska one

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