From New Mexico to Alaska, step by step

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the New Mexico 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 New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New Mexico certificate comes first; then the Alaska filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Alaska.

Questions New Mexico owners ask about Alaska

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Alaska?

How much does the Alaska registration cost?

$549 at checkout, plus New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance.

Do I need New Mexico's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants it, current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Alaska?

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

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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