What Happens If You Miss the Deadline

Stage 1

Immediately after January 2nd deadline

Alaska Department of Commerce sends notice of delinquency. LLC is considered not in good standing. $25 late fee is assessed in addition to the $100 filing fee.

✓ Fix:Yes — file the overdue annual report and pay both the $100 base fee and $25 late penalty to restore good standing

Stage 2

30-60 days after deadline

Alaska sends final notice of intent to administratively dissolve. LLC remains not in good standing and cannot obtain certificates of good standing for business transactions.

✓ Fix:Yes — you can still file the overdue report and pay fees to avoid dissolution, but time is running out

Stage 3

60+ days after deadline

Alaska administratively dissolves the LLC. The business loses its legal status, liability protection ends, and the LLC cannot conduct business legally in Alaska.

✓ Fix:Yes, but requires formal reinstatement process — file Articles of Reinstatement, pay all overdue fees, late penalties, and reinstatement fees

How to Fix It: Step-by-Step

File Your Overdue Annual Report

Complete and submit Form 08-877 (Annual Report) through the Alaska Business License Information Network at https://www.commerce.alaska.gov. Include all required business information and officer details.

Pay All Outstanding Fees and Penalties

Submit payment for the $100 annual report fee plus the $25 late penalty ($125 total). Alaska accepts online payments, checks, and money orders made payable to 'State of Alaska'.

File for Reinstatement (If Already Dissolved)

If your LLC was administratively dissolved, file Articles of Reinstatement (Form 08-879) with the Alaska Division of Corporations. Pay reinstatement fees in addition to all overdue annual report fees.

Verify Good Standing Status

Request a Certificate of Good Standing from Alaska Department of Commerce to confirm your LLC is back in compliance. This certificate proves your business is legally authorized to operate.
