Step-by-step lesson

  1. Step 1: Start with the legal requirement

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

    Official source: As listed on akleg.gov in October 2026

  2. Step 2: See who qualifies as agent

    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. The rule is in Alaska Stat. § 10.50.055.

  3. Step 3: Use a qualifying address

    The registered office needs a physical Alaska address. A P.O. box can be given only as a separate mailing address.

    TipA service address keeps your home address private.

  4. Step 4: Pick who will be the agent

    Serving yourself is allowed when you qualify; hiring one of our picks runs $99 to $149 yearly.

  5. Step 5: Get the agent on file

    A new LLC lists its agent in the Articles of Organization (Form 08-484). Switching agents later is a separate change filing with the Alaska Secretary of State.

  6. Step 6: Watch the yearly filing

    Keep the biennial report on time ($100, January 2 of the filing year), and the agent record stays accurate.
