The plain answers

Must the LLC name a registered agent?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

Legal basis: Alaska Stat. § 10.50.055. source: akleg.gov, October 2026

Who qualifies?

An Alaska resident whose business office is the registered office, or a corporation authorized to do business in Alaska whose business office is the registered office.

Qualify, and you can fill the role yourself for free.

What do agents charge?

$99 to $149 a year from the services we'd use, or $297 to $447 over three years.

The agent you pick does not change any state fee.

Why does the state want one?

Its job is to receive legal documents and official notices for the company in Alaska.

Ask any agent how fast it tells you when papers arrive. What is service of process?

What does the state charge yearly?

The biennial report, every other year, at $100 each time. It is due January 2 of the filing year.

How did you rank them?

Mainstay Filing wins on what the price takes off your plate, our 30% criterion.

What we weigh most: three-year cost (35%) and what the price takes off your plate (30%). Three smaller criteria break close calls.

If the LLC ever adds a state, the same agent and price follow it; AK Registered Agent.org stops at the Alaska line.
