PROCEED TO ONLINE FILING

Important: Before filing online, please review the information below.

BEFORE YOU PROCEED:

  • Gather all necessary information before you begin online filing. The system may time out if there are long interruptions or delays, which will require starting over.
  • Be aware that auto-fill features enabled in your web browser can cause incorrect data entry in your application. We recommend disabling auto-fill if this causes issues.
  • For additional resources and FAQs, such as Biennial Report FAQs or Registered Agent FAQs, go to www.corporations.alaska.gov

WHILE COMPLETING AND REVIEWING THE FILING:

  • Do not use BACK or FORWARD buttons in your web browser. Only use the buttons provided within the application.
  • REVIEW and RE-CHECK your data entry for spelling and accuracy before proceeding to payment. Once posted, this will become a permanent document, which may only be corrected with a subsequent form and may require an additional filing fee.

PAYMENT:

AFTER PAYMENT:

  • Your filing and/or certificate will be filed for record and posted immediately. You can view, save, or print from the entity’s record at Search Corporations Database.
  • Do not duplicate your filing or payment by submitting hard copy. Online filings are completed immediately.

ONLINE FILING MISTAKE?

  • If you discover that you made a mistake (such as a spelling error) in your online filing, please contact the Corporations Section at corporations@alaska.gov to determine what filing will be needed to statutorily correct the information on record. A subsequent form and fee may be required to correct your filing.
