An Alaska Amended Certificate of Authority Foreign Business Corporation is a document issued by the State of Alaska's Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development. It allows a foreign business corporation registered in another jurisdiction to transact business in the State of Alaska. There are two types of Alaska Amended Certificate of Authority Foreign Business Corporation: an Original Certificate of Authority and an Amended Certificate of Authority. The Original Certificate of Authority is issued when the foreign business corporation is first registered in another jurisdiction and is applying for permission to conduct business in Alaska. The Amended Certificate of Authority is issued when the foreign business corporation has made changes to its name or other information and needs to update its registration in Alaska. Both types of certificates must be filed with the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development and are subject to applicable fees.
