In Short: Alaska LLC Biennial Report
Every Alaska LLC files a Biennial Report with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing every two years. Reports are due January 2, filing opens October 2 of the year before, and the fee is $100 for a domestic LLC.
- Who files: every Alaska LLC and every foreign LLC registered in Alaska.
- Due date: January 2 of the filing year. LLCs formed in an even-numbered year file in even years; those formed in an odd year file in odd years.
- Fee: $100 domestic, $200 foreign.
- Late fee: after February 1 the total becomes $137.50 domestic or $247.50 foreign.
- If you never file: a domestic LLC can be involuntarily dissolved once it is six months delinquent, and a foreign LLC loses its registration.
Alaska ties its two-year cycle to the year an LLC was formed. Odd-year LLCs file in odd years and even-year LLCs file in even years, with every report due January 2. The Division opens online filing three months early, on October 2.
This guide covers who files, how to work out your filing year, the fees and late penalty, what the report asks for, how to file, and what happens to an LLC that falls behind.

Who Must File an Alaska LLC Biennial Report?
Under AS 10.50.750, every Alaska limited liability company and every foreign LLC conducting affairs in Alaska files a biennial report. Both use the same report; the foreign LLC pays a higher fee.
Newly formed domestic LLCs can also receive a separate Initial Report form from the Division. It is free, and it is due within six months after the LLC is organized. Foreign LLCs do not file one.
When Is the Alaska Biennial Report Due?
Reports are due January 2 of the filing year, and the online filing period opens on October 2 of the year before. Your filing year depends on the year the LLC was formed or registered in Alaska: odd-year LLCs file in odd-numbered years and even-year LLCs file in even-numbered years.
- An LLC formed in 2024 files in even years: reports are due January 2, 2026, then January 2, 2028.
- An LLC formed in 2025 files in odd years: the next report is due January 2, 2027, and filing opens October 2, 2026.
- A foreign LLC registered in Alaska in 2023 files in odd years, with a report due January 2, 2027.
A report is not delinquent until February 1, so a report filed between January 3 and February 1 carries no penalty. A mailed report postmarked by February 1 counts as timely.
How Much Does the Alaska LLC Biennial Report Cost?
The Division’s biennial report FAQ lists a $100 fee for a domestic LLC and $200 for a foreign LLC. Over two years, that is $50 or $100 a year.
The late penalty
A report filed after February 1 costs $137.50 for a domestic LLC and $247.50 for a foreign LLC. That is a penalty of $37.50 and $47.50 on top of the regular fee.
What Information Does the Alaska Biennial Report Ask For?
Under AS 10.50.755, the report includes:
- The LLC’s name and the state where it was organized
- The registered agent’s name and the registered office address
- For a foreign LLC, its principal office address in its home state
- The names and addresses of the managers, or of the members if the LLC is member-managed
- The name, address and ownership percentage of each person who owns 5% or more of the LLC
You can update the NAICS code on the report, but you cannot change the registered agent there. An agent change needs a separate Statement of Change.
How to File the Alaska LLC Biennial Report: Step by Step
- Confirm your filing year. Match it to your formation year: odd or even.
- Open the online filing. Start from the Division’s biennial reports page any time from October 2.
- Enter your entity number. Pull up the LLC’s record.
- Update owners and managers. List managers or members and everyone who owns 5% or more.
- Pay by credit card. Online fees are not refundable.
- Save the filed report. Online filings post right away.
Paper reports are also accepted, paid by check to the State of Alaska or by card, and take 10 to 15 business days. File one way only, not both.
What Happens If You Miss the Alaska Deadline?
After February 1, the penalty applies. Under AS 10.50.408, the commissioner can involuntarily dissolve a domestic LLC that is six months delinquent in filing its biennial report or paying a fee or penalty. Notice goes by certified mail, and the LLC has 60 days after the notice is sent to fix the problem before the certificate of involuntary dissolution issues.
For a foreign LLC, AS 10.50.650 allows the Division to revoke the registration after at least 60 days’ notice by certified mail to the registered agent. A revoked foreign LLC cannot reinstate; it has to register again.
Reinstating a dissolved Alaska LLC
A domestic LLC can reinstate within two years after the certificate of involuntary dissolution. Under AS 10.50.408, it must cure the delinquency and pay double the amount delinquent, plus the fees it would have owed during the period it was dissolved. To start, email the Division with the entity name and Alaska entity number, as its reinstatement page instructs. After two years, the only option is to form a new LLC.
Alaska Biennial Report Tips for Non-Resident Owners
- Write down your filing year parity when you form the LLC. Odd or even decides every future deadline.
- File in October or November to stay well ahead of January 2.
- Keep the 5% owner list current. The report asks for each owner’s ownership percentage.
- Change the registered agent with a Statement of Change, not on the report.
Keep Your Alaska LLC in Good Standing
Filing the Biennial Report on time is what keeps your LLC listed as active in Alaska. Banks, payment processors and new partners ask for proof of that status, and the document that shows it is an Alaska certificate of good standing. For the full picture of what the state charges, see our breakdown of Alaska LLC costs, and if you have not formed the company yet, start with our guide on how to start an LLC in Alaska.
Most missed filings trace back to one problem: the state’s reminder went to an old address. A registered agent service that scans and forwards state mail closes that gap. If a deadline has already passed, our guide on what happens when you miss an annual report deadline walks through the fix, and our LLC annual report guide for every state covers the rules in other states where you are registered.
