Alaska certificate of good standing
Find the official ordering service and document fees for Alaska. Your recipient may ask for a certificate of status or existence, a certified filing copy, or an apostille; check which document it needs before ordering.
Open official certificate service ↗Alaska certificate fees and delivery
Alaska calls its good-standing document a Certificate of Compliance. It costs $10.00 for domestic or foreign entities. The online certificate service posts the certificate immediately so it can be viewed, saved, or printed from the entity record; paper requests follow the Division's seasonal processing queue, commonly 10–15 business days or longer in October–February.
Certified copies of filed documents
Alaska's official fee page routes copy requests through Form 08-0562 and states that the fee varies. The reviewed materials do not establish a universal certification flat fee plus per-page schedule for all records, so the exact charge must be calculated from the document request and the Division's current copy instructions. The requester should identify the entity and documents and specify whether certified copies are required.
Alaska apostilles and authentication
Alaska apostilles are handled by the Alaska Lieutenant Governor's authentication service rather than the Corporations Section. The corporate registry research did not verify a single current 2026 fee or processing SLA for every document type. Use the state's authentication instructions, submit the original certified public document as required, and follow its mailing or in-person instructions; the Corporations Section cannot apostille an entity record merely because it issued the record.
Which document should you order?
- Proof of current registry standing
- Ask for the state’s certificate of status, existence, or good standing. It is different from a public search result and may not establish tax clearance.
- Proof of what was filed
- Order a certified copy of the specific formation document, amendment, or other filing requested.
- A document for use abroad
- Ask the receiving authority whether it requires an apostille or another form of authentication, and whether it accepts electronic documents.
Check the record before ordering
Confirm the legal name, entity number, and recipient’s required issue date. A missed report or other delinquency may need to be resolved before a certificate can be issued.
