Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Virginia

To do business in Virginia, an LLC formed in Alaska registers there on Form LLC1052, with $100 in state fees. Virginia also asks for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no older than one year. We file it with the State Corporation Commission, Office of the Clerk from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Alaska companies register with Virginia

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Virginia order. Alaska takes days to issue it and Virginia wants it within one year, so the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form LLC1052
It lists us as your Virginia 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 Virginia filing goes in. After approval, your Alaska LLC is registered with Virginia.

Agents: Virginia and Alaska

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

Yearly filings: Virginia and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Virginia wants the Annual Registration Fee every year ($50). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

The other way: Virginia into Alaska

An LLC formed in Virginia that registers with Alaska files Form 08-0497 with $350 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration ($6). See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Virginia

Does my Alaska company need to register in Virginia?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Virginia law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

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

$299 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $309 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Virginia wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than one year old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Virginia?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Virginia's report ($50).

What if I don't register with Virginia?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Virginia can add a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Virginia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Virginia LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Virginia later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Virginia's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
