When you search "secretary of state ak business search," you're looking for this official database to verify business registrations, check entity status, and conduct due diligence on Alaska businesses.

Using Alaska's corporation and UCC systems

Alaska business entities are handled by the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development, Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing (CBPL). The corporation database is the main place to look up registered entities. Uniform Commercial Code financing statements are filed and searched through the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Recorder's Office central file, not the corporation database. The SOS information card below covers Commerce entity tools; the UCC card covers DNR.

Alaska business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Look up a corporation, LLC, or other registered entity

Search by entity number or entity name (starts with or contains). You can limit to current records. Trademarks and other corporation searches use separate tools on the same Commerce site.

Officials, registered agents, and trademark searches are available as separate database searches from the CBPL corporations menu when you need those instead of basic entity status.

File or manage my business online

Biennial and initial reports and many corporation updates follow CBPL instructions. Where online filing is available, completed filings typically appear in the corporation database after processing.

UCC information

Financing statements & lien search

Alaska's UCC central file is maintained by the DNR Recorder's Office. Use this column for financing statements and liens, not for corporation or LLC registration lookup on Commerce.

UCC filings (liens, financing statements)

DNR offers name search, document number search, and other search types from the central file. Choose the option that matches whether you have a debtor name, a file number, or a date range.

Tips if the site feels confusing

Decide first: corporation and LLC records on Commerce versus UCC central file on DNR. The forms and URLs are different.
Keep an Alaska entity number or a UCC document number when you have it; it speeds up repeat lookups.
Use current-only or similar filters when you only care whether an entity still appears active on the register.
Official answers on fees, forms, and deadlines belong to Alaska state agencies and your advisors, not third-party sites.

Form a business

Starting a business in Alaska

Entity search on this page helps you verify names and good standing. When you are ready to form a new LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, use the same next steps we link from Business Lookup: confirm the name on the official register, choose a structure with your CPA or attorney if needed, then file through the state agency (and plan for publication, registered agent, and any industry licenses that apply).

Typical state filing fees

These amounts can change when agencies update their fee schedules. Double-check the current fee list, forms, and deadlines on the official Alaska business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.

Corporation filing (state): $250
