What Do Alaska Registered Agents Do?
An essential duty of an Alaska registered agent is to receive legal documents like lawsuits, subpoenas, and official notices, forwarding them to the entity they represent. This necessitates the agent’s availability during business hours at a designated location in Alaska.
Alaska law mandates that all types of legal entities, including corporations, nonprofit corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships (LPs), and limited liability partnerships (LLPs), appoint a registered agent to conduct business within the state. This requirement establishes an official and dependable communication channel from the government to the legal entity for the delivery of legal documents.
Appointing a registered agent in Alaska is not just a legal formality but a critical step in promptly addressing legal matters. Failure of the agent to receive or forward a lawsuit notice against the represented organization could result in a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff, underscoring the importance of this role.

Why do I need an Alaska Registered Agent?
To become a legitimate, registered Alaska business, the state requires you to appoint one.
The Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing will reject your filing if you don’t appoint a registered agent in Alaska.
Basically, so the general public will have a reliable way to send important mail or legal notices to every registered Alaska business. Alaska Statutes states a Corporation shall (must) continuously (without interruption) maintain in this state (Alaska only) a registered agent (an individual resident of Alaska or a corporation authorized to transact business in Alaska, depending on your entity type, see question #3) and a registered office (a physical location and a mailing address in Alaska) for the purpose of a registered agent’s statutory requirements to receive service of processes, notices, or demands required or permitted by law to be served upon the Corporation.
What are the requirements for Alaska registered agents?
-
The registered agent must either be a resident individual of Alaska or a corporation authorized to conduct business in Alaska. If an individual serves as the registered agent, they must meet the residency criteria outlined in AS 01.10.055(a), which defines residency as being physically present in Alaska with the intent to remain indefinitely and establish a home. Notably, the individual cannot establish residency elsewhere or claim benefits under a different residency. If a corporation is chosen as the registered agent, it must be a designated type of corporation, such as a business corporation, professional corporation, or non-profit corporation; entities like LLCs, LLPs, and LPs are not eligible to serve as registered agents.
-
The registered agent must possess a physical address within the state of Alaska.
-
Additionally, the registered agent must maintain a mailing address within the state of Alaska. It is crucial to keep these addresses current and valid, as failure to do so may result in non-compliance status for the entity, potentially leading to involuntary dissolution or revocation of the entity’s authority to conduct business in Alaska.
-
It is imperative to note that a corporation cannot act as its own registered agent.
-
Similarly, non-corporation entities such as LLCs, LLPs, and LPs are ineligible to serve as registered agents.
-
Attorneys and law firms that are incorporated have the option to serve as registered agents.
People Who Need Registered Agents In Alaska:
The regulations of the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing delineate a registered agent as an individual with a physical address, not a post office box, within the state, or a corporation authorized to conduct business in Alaska apart from the entity itself. In practice, two main categories of candidates can serve as your registered agent in Alaska:
-
Private individuals: Any resident of Alaska who is available at a designated address during business hours. This could include a family member, friend, attorney, or yourself. However, many organizations opt to designate an employee for this role.
-
Commercial registered agent providers: These are businesses specialized in offering registered agent services.
