Our Alaska shortlist

#1Start here
1. Mainstay Filing: best for LLCs adding more states
Service $199 plus $350 to the state; agent renewal $149
Why Mainstay Filing first? Because you pay $199 plus Alaska's fee, get a free first registered agent year and then pay $149 a year.
Compare the price before you commit: Alaska Registered Agent.co is $100 lower over three years, but it works in Alaska only.
Once the free year ends, the registered agent renews at $149.
Company prices from November 13, 2026, before state fees.
Questions to settle
When must an out-of-state LLC register here?
Before an LLC formed elsewhere starts business in Alaska, it registers.
An unregistered LLC may face its access to the courts as a plaintiff is suspended (AS 10.50.675(a)); fines capped at $10,000; back fees for the unregistered months.
Doing it yourself costs $350. With a service, add $199.
Across three years the state's total comes to $550. official source commerce.alaska.gov (October 2026) to check
What is the application called?
Your LLC is registered once the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing approves the Certificate of Registration, Foreign Limited Liability Company (Form 08-0497).
Enclose certificate of good standing (or equivalent) from the home state.
What do I do after the LLC registers?
The state wants a biennial report later, priced at $200.
Filings come due Before January 2 of every second year.
How did you rank them?
Mainstay Filing leads on filing jobs included, which carries 27% of our score.
The two heavy checks are total for three years (37%) and filing jobs included (27%); three lighter checks follow.
Because two states are involved, a company that works everywhere ranked above Alaska Registered Agent.co.
Official Alaska documents supply the state fees, and the companies' own pricing pages supply the service fees. Both carry dates on this page.
Is a service required by law?
Hiring is optional. The law requires a filing, not a filer.
Can I hire someone to register?
Each company on this page files it for you; the state charges the same regardless.
Which one do you recommend in Alaska?
Mainstay Filing, because registering costs $199, with no registered agent charge until year two. Then Alaska Registered Agent.co and AK Registered Agent.org.
