Alaska Transfer Business Name Reservation is a service provided by the State of Alaska in which businesses can reserve a name for their business entity. This service allows a business to secure their desired name for up to 180 days. The name reservation process ensures that no other business is using the same name, and that the name does not conflict with existing trademarks. There are two types of Alaska Transfer Business Name Reservation: Name Reservation and Name Change. Name Reservation is for businesses that are registering a new entity, while Name Change is for businesses that are changing the name of an existing entity.
