How Indiana companies register with Alaska

Order the Indiana certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($15) is ordered from Indiana separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the Indiana certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file Form 08-0497
It lists us as your Alaska registered agent, next to your Indiana name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Indiana certificate comes first; then the Alaska filing goes in. After approval, your Indiana LLC is registered with Alaska.

Common questions: Indiana to Alaska

Does my Indiana company need to register in Alaska?

Yes, once an Indiana 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 $15 to Indiana for the Certificate of Existence, $564 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Indiana's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants Indiana's Certificate of Existence ($15), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

An Indiana 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 Indiana registered agent stays, and ours covers Alaska for year one.

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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