Texas LLC Foreign Registration in Alaska

To do business in Alaska, an LLC formed in Texas registers there on Form 08-0497, with $350 in state fees. Alaska also wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing from your Texas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Texas companies register with Alaska

Order the Texas certificate
The Certificate of Fact - Status ($15) is ordered from Texas separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. Alaska wants the Texas 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 Texas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Texas delays the Alaska filing. After approval, your Texas LLC is registered with Alaska.

Alaska costs for Texas companies

Your Texas name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Texas one

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Texas

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Alaska

A corporation formed in Texas files Form 08-414 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same). After that come Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Alaska into Texas

An LLC formed in Alaska that registers with Texas files Form 304 with $767.13 in state fees and a $50 required expedite; no Alaska certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Texas to Alaska

Does my Texas company need to register in Alaska?

Yes, once a Texas 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 $15 to Texas for the Certificate of Fact - Status, $564 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Texas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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