Alaska registers an LLC from Wyoming as a foreign LLC on Form 08-0497, with $350 in state fees. Alaska also wants Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing (free).

From Wyoming to Alaska, step by step

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

Your Wyoming name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Wyoming one

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Wyoming

Wyoming wants the Annual Report every year ($61.44); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Wyoming to Alaska

A corporation formed in Wyoming files Form 08-414 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($60) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Alaska into Wyoming

An LLC formed in Alaska that registers with Wyoming files Wyoming's registration (no form number) with $150 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Wyoming to Alaska

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Alaska?

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

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

$549 at checkout, plus Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Wyoming's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Alaska wants it (free), current at filing.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Wyoming's report ($61.44) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

What if I don't register with Alaska?

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

Can I form a new Alaska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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