Alaska Foreign Corporation Registration
To Avoid Legal Penalties

Did you form a corporation in a state other than Alaska? Depending on the activities of your corporation, you may be required to file for a Alaska Foreign Corporation registration, also known as a ‘certificate of authority or ‘foreign qualification’ to transact business within the state. If you don’t, you cannot file lawsuits in Alaska, and the state might impose fines for doing business without registering your corporation.

Corporations that need to apply for a Alaska Foreign Corporation Registration

So how do you know if your corporation needs to apply for an Alaska Foreign Corporation Registration? Let鈥檚 take a look at some of the most common scenarios:

  • Having employees in the state.
  • Long-term business transactions.
  • Owning or leasing a warehouse, store, or office in Alaska.
  • Possessing income-producing real estate or personal properties.

Why you should register your Foreign Corporation in Alaska

If you formed your corporation in another state, your corporation is domestic to that state, and a Foreign Corporation in every other state鈥攊ncluding Alaska. An unregistered corporation doing business in a state other than the original state of formation may be subject to fines, penalties, and lack of legal recourse. Alaska might even prevent you from continuing to do business in the state. Registering your Foreign Corporation in Alaska is similar to forming a new corporation, subject to separate state filings, fees, and taxes.
