How to Reinstate a Dissolved Entity

If your domestic (Alaskan) entity has an "Involuntarily Dissolved" status and you wish to Reinstate:

• If the entity was Involuntarily Dissolved less than two years ago it may be possible to Reinstate your entity.
  
  Please email corporations@alaska.gov and include the following information:
  • the entity's name,
  • the Alaska entity's number,
  • the date of the entity's Involuntary Dissolution (it must be less than two years),
  • a brief statement the entity wants to be reinstated,
  • and put "Reinstate" in the subject line.
  The Corporations Section will respond to your email with the necessary information and forms for the entity to reinstate.
• If the entity was Involuntarily Dissolved more than two years ago it is no longer possible to Reinstate the entity. Please apply for a new Alaska Entity number by filing new articles of incorporation or organization. Go to Forms & Fees and locate your entity type for the appropriate form.
