Alaska LLC status check
What keeps a Alaska LLC or corporation in good standing, what happens if a filing is missed, and how to check your status yourself.

The way a lender sees it: a lender’s system doesn’t just read your status — it matches your exact legal name, your filing, your domain and your email against each other. Run the same checks below.

Missed it? What happens, and how to fix it
If a filing is missed
Late fee applies to reports filed on or after February 2 (total $137.50 domestic / $247.50 foreign, i.e. $37.50 / $47.50 late fee). Missing one or more biennial reports may lead to involuntary dissolution (domestic) or revocation (foreign); no timeline stated.
Getting back in good standing
Reinstatement. Domestic LLCs and business corporations may reinstate only if dissolved less than 2 years (AS 10.50.408(e), AS 10.06.633(e)); request by email to Corporations@Alaska.Gov. Revoked foreign entities cannot reinstate and must re-register.
Why lenders check this before anyone reads your application
An automated know-your-business check compares what you put on an application against the state’s record. A status that isn’t active and in good standing, or a legal name that differs from your filing by a comma or a suffix, is a common silent reason for a decline.
Fixing your status costs nothing beyond the state’s own fees; you don’t need to pay anyone to do it for you.
