How New York companies register with Alaska

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the New York 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 New York name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New York certificate takes days to arrive, so the Alaska filing waits for it. After approval, your New York LLC is registered with Alaska.

The other way: Alaska into New York

An LLC formed in Alaska that registers with New York files Form DOS-1361-f-a with $250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10) dated within one year. See that filing.

Common questions: New York to Alaska

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

$549 at checkout plus $25 to New York for the Certificate of Status, $574 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

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

Yes: Alaska wants New York's Certificate of Status ($25), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

Alaska says online filings post as soon as they are paid, plus mail time for New York's certificate before filing.

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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