Alabama Foreign Registration / About
About Alabama Foreign Registration
Alabama Foreign Registration does one kind of paperwork: registering companies formed outside Alabama so they can do business there, from the name reservation through the filed application.
How an order runs
The order form asks for the company's details once. We then reserve the name, complete the Foreign LLC Application for Registration or Foreign Corporation Application for Registration, place the Alabama agent (which can be us), mail two originals with payment to Montgomery and send you the stamped copy. Limited partnerships, LLPs and professional entities go through email first.
Where we stop
We do not give tax advice, rule on whether a given activity counts as doing business, or handle licences from other Alabama agencies. Those questions belong with an Alabama lawyer and your accountant.
