Updated September 6, 2026. Quick answer: In Alaska, this role is called a registered agent, governed by Alaska Stat. Section 10.50.055 (maintain agent/office), Section 10.50.060 (change), Section 10.50.408(a)(2)-(3) (dissolution ground). Alaska is the only one of the states compared here whose own official filing form requires both a physical AND a separate mailing address, each mandatorily in-state.
What the address rule requires
Alaska’s own Statement of Change form (Form 08-492) requires the LLC to state a physical Alaska location for the registered office and a separate Alaska mailing address, both mandatory in-state fields.
Who can serve as your registered agent
An individual Alaska resident with a business office at the registered office, or a domestic or foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Alaska with an office matching the registered office.
What happens if you don’t have one
Alaska’s statute does not provide for the Secretary of State to become the LLC’s default agent; the consequence of lacking one runs instead to involuntary dissolution (below). Alaska’s own form states directly: “Failure to meet registered agent requirements could result in involuntary dissolution of the entity’s authority to transact business in the State of Alaska.” (AS 10.50.408(a)(2),(3)). No specific day-count is stated on the form itself.
How to change your registered agent
$25.00, nonrefundable, filed by the Statement of Change form (08-492), signed by a member, manager, or attorney-in-fact; roughly 10 to 15 business days to process by mail. (source: Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing, official Statement of Change form)

Every citation on this page was read directly from the state’s own statute, Secretary of State site, or official filing form this session (or, where that site could not be reached, from an independently cross-checked legal-database mirror of the same codified text, disclosed below). General information, not legal advice; fees and specific procedures can change, and your state’s Secretary of State has the final say for any individual filing.
