The Alaska Amended Certificate of Authority for Foreign Cooperative Corporation is a document that is filed with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing to register a foreign cooperative corporation to do business in the state of Alaska. A foreign cooperative corporation is one that is organized outside the state of Alaska, but wants to do business in Alaska. This document is used to amend the original Certificate of Authority, and is necessary when the foreign cooperative corporation wishes to change the name of the corporation, the address of the corporation, the type of business it conducts, or the authorized agent of the corporation in Alaska. There are two types of Alaska Amended Certificate of Authority for Foreign Cooperative Corporation: the Initial Amended Certificate of Authority and the Renewal Amended Certificate of Authority. The Initial Amended Certificate of Authority is required when a foreign cooperative corporation is filing for the first time in Alaska. The Renewal Amended Certificate of Authority is needed for subsequent years, when the foreign cooperative corporation needs to renew its registration and make any changes to the corporation.
