From Mississippi to Alaska, step by step

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the Mississippi 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 Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Mississippi delays the Alaska filing. Once Alaska approves it, the Mississippi company can do business there.

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Alaska

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Alaska?

Yes, once a Mississippi 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 $25 to Mississippi for the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, $574 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants it ($25), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

Alaska says online filings post as soon as they are paid; Mississippi's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Alaska?

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

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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