From North Dakota to Alaska, step by step

Order the North Dakota certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from North Dakota separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the North Dakota 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 North Dakota name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The North Dakota certificate comes first; then the Alaska filing goes in. Once Alaska approves it, the North Dakota company can do business there.

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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