Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

Utah registers an LLC from Alaska as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah also wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code using your Alaska records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Alaska companies register with Utah

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Alaska takes days to issue it and Utah wants it within 90 days, so the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Utah registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Alaska certificate takes days to arrive, so the Utah filing waits for it. Once Utah approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Your Alaska name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the Alaska name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Utah's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Utah and Alaska

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

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Utah

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Utah wants the Annual Report/Renewal every year ($18). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Utah

A corporation formed in Alaska files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Alaska

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Alaska files Form 08-0497 with $350 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12). See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Utah

Does my Alaska company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $268 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
