How Connecticut companies register with Alaska

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Alaska wants the Connecticut 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 Connecticut name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Connecticut's certificate is in hand, Alaska's filing goes in. After approval, your Connecticut LLC is registered with Alaska.

Common questions: Connecticut to Alaska

Does my Connecticut company need to register in Alaska?

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

How much does the Alaska registration cost?

$549 at checkout plus $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $599 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants Connecticut's Certificate of Legal Existence ($50), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Connecticut's report ($80) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

A Connecticut 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 Connecticut registered agent stays, and ours covers Alaska for year one.

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

Yes, but Connecticut keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Alaska's Biennial Report ($100), and the original keeps Connecticut's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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