Mainstay Filing earns the top grade: the formation filing, the registered agent and the biennial report come to $199 a year, renewing at $199.

No.1

Our top pick in Alaska

1. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and biennial report on one invoice

Score9.4out of 10
$199 a year plus the state fee, $449 due at checkout

Top grade, Mainstay Filing: a flat $199 yearly fee takes in the Alaska formation, your registered agent and the biennial report.

The renewal covers the biennial report, which Mainstay files for you. Alaska collects $100 every two years, with a deadline of January 2 of the filing year, and a late filing adds $37.50; Mainstay passes the state's fee through at cost.

Over three years Mainstay costs $200 more than AK Registered Agent.org; our grading treats the broader coverage as worth that.
