Nevada LLC Foreign Registration in Alaska

To do business in Alaska, an LLC formed in Nevada registers there on Form 08-0497, with $350 in state fees. Alaska also wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing using your Nevada records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Nevada to Alaska, step by step

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the Nevada 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 Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, Alaska's filing goes in. After approval, your Nevada LLC is registered with Alaska.

Will your Nevada name work for Alaska?

We check your exact Nevada name against Alaska's records before filing.

Your Alaska agent and the Nevada one

Nevada and Alaska both call it a registered agent. Alaska papers come to us; Nevada's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Nevada and Alaska

Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Alaska

A corporation formed in Nevada files Form 08-414 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same). After that come Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Alaska into Nevada

An LLC formed in Alaska that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees; no Alaska certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Nevada owners ask about Alaska

Does my Nevada company need to register in Alaska?

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

How much does it cost to register a Nevada LLC in Alaska?

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

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

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

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report ($350) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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