Utah LLC Foreign Registration in Alaska

To do business in Alaska, an LLC formed in Utah registers there on Form 08-0497, with $350 in state fees. Alaska also wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing from your Utah records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Utah companies register with Alaska

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Alaska order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Alaska wants the Utah 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 Utah name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Utah issues the certificate instantly, so the Alaska filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Utah LLC is registered with Alaska.

Your Utah name and Alaska's rules

We search Alaska's records for Utah's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Alaska and Utah

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Utah

Utah wants the Annual Report/Renewal every year ($18); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Utah to Alaska

A corporation formed in Utah files Form 08-414 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same). After that come Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Alaska into Utah

An LLC formed in Alaska that registers with Utah files Utah's registration (no form number) with $59 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Utah owners ask about Alaska

Does my Utah company need to register in Alaska?

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

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

$549 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $561 in all (checkout is $350 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Utah's report ($18) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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