Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Alaska

Alaska registers an LLC from Arizona as a foreign LLC on Form 08-0497, with $350 in state fees. Alaska also wants Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing ($10). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing from your Arizona records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Arizona companies register with Alaska

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the Arizona certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file Form 08-0497
It names us as your Alaska registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Alaska filing goes in. Once Alaska approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Item	Amount

Your Arizona name and Alaska's rules

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

Agents: Alaska and Arizona

Alaska calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Alaska papers come to us; Arizona's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Alaska and Arizona

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Alaska

A corporation formed in Arizona files Form 08-414 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same). After that come Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Arizona

An LLC formed in Alaska that registers with Arizona files Form L025 with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Alaska

Does my Arizona company need to register in Alaska?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Alaska law lists 9 activities that do not count on their own.

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

$549 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $559 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants it ($10), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

Alaska says online filings post as soon as they are paid, once Arizona's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

An Arizona company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Alaska can add a civil penalty of up to $10,000.

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Alaska for year one.

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Alaska's Biennial Report ($100), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

Arizona companies leave by filing Form 08-502 ($25); until then, Alaska's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
