Alaska LLC Biennial Report 2026: Step-By-Step Filing Guide (Updated: May)

After filing your Articles of Organization with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing, the state requires you to complete one primary recurring obligation: the Biennial Report. This ensures that your LLC stays active and maintains its good standing with the state.

Unlike most U.S. states requiring annual filings, Alaska uses a simple, cost-effective two-year filing schedule. However, you still have state-mandated fees and firm deadlines that must be stuck to.

You need to understand how to file, how much it costs, and what the state expects to maintain your good standing. I’ve explained everything you need to know about the Alaska LLC Biennial Report, allowing you to file correctly and with confidence.

What Is The Alaska Biennial Report?

All LLCs operating in Alaska must file a Biennial Report every two years, as stated under AS 10.50.760.

This ensures that the state maintains up-to-date business information, including your main contact details, address, and Registered Agent information.

Filing your Biennial Report on time helps maintain your legal status, keep your good standing, and avoid potential state penalties.

1. Alaska Biennial Report: What Are The Key Due Dates & Fees?

You must file your Biennial Report every two years from the date you filed your LLC Initial Report.

• All Biennial Reports need to be submitted by January 2 of the year it’s due.
• You can file from October 2 of the previous year.
• Your $100 Alaska LLC Biennial Reporting fee is due every two years.

Example: You file your Alaska LLC Initial Report on May 10, 2026.

• Your first Biennial Report is due on January 2, 2028. You can start your filing from October 2, 2027.
• The state gives you a one-month grace period if you miss the January 2 deadline.
• You’ll be charged a $37.50 late fee if you fail to file by February 1, 2028.

2. Where To File The Alaska Biennial Report?

You can file your Alaska Biennial report online (Strongly recommended) or by mail.

How To File Your Biennial Report Online?

Completing your Alaska Biennial Report filing online is the most convenient and fastest processing method. It’s also strongly preferred by the state as it reduces the chances of filing errors.

I’ve written a step-by-step guide below on how to complete your Biennial Report filing online. These are the main steps to follow:

1. Navigate To The Biennial Report Filing Page

To begin, access the Biennial Report section on the Alaska Division of Corporations website. This is where you begin your online filing.

Note: Use the Alaska Corporations Database to find your entity number by searching your LLC name.

3. Verify Your Entity Addresses

In the next section, verify your entity addresses. You must either confirm or update your mailing address and physical address in the provided sections.

Make any necessary changes, ensuring all entered information is accurate and up-to-date.

• You must file a Statement of Change separately and pay a $25 fee if you want to change your Registered Agent details.

Once the required fields are completed, click “Proceed” to continue.

Click the “Review filing” PDF link to check your information.

How To File Your Biennial Report By Mail?

If you prefer to file your Biennial Report manually, you can submit your filing by mail. The steps are straightforward if you prepare the form correctly. However, the processing time is a lot longer.

Note: You must print the form and complete it by hand to submit your filing. This is because your form is personalized for each business entity.

I’ve split the mail filing into 5 simple steps:

Access the Alaska Division of Corporations Biennial Report page.

Enter your entity number and click “Print form.”

2. Open The Personalized Form

The website should provide a link allowing you to access your Biennial Report form. This is a customized version created specifically for your LLC.

3. Print The Form And Handwrite Your Information

You can NOT edit your form electronically. Your form is personalized and must be printed and filled out by hand.

If there are no changes to the pre-filled information, leave those sections blank. You only need to fill in the “Officials” section and sign at the bottom.

Follow this guidance and make changes as necessary:

1. Entity addresses: Write your mailing address and physical address, if any changes are needed. Leave this section blank if everything is correct.
2. Officials: Write the names and mailing addresses of all LLC members or managers. Include their names, mailing addresses, and percentage ownerships. Tick the checkbox to indicate whether they’re a member or a manager.

5. Verify Your Filing
