The Alaska Certificate of Authority Foreign Cooperative Corporation | Form 08-474 must be submitted when a cooperative corporation that exists outside of the State of Alaska wishes to operate as a cooperative corporation within the State of Alaska. These articles will be considered necessary paperwork which must be approved by the Alaska Corporate Section before any business may be conducted in this state. This paperwork should be submitted in duplicate to the State of Alaska Corporations Section, P.O. Box 110806, Juneau, AK 9981-0806 with a state filing fee of $250.00.
