What is a Certificate of Compliance?
Certificate of Compliance is the term Alaska uses for what most states call a Certificate of Good Standing. Issued by the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing, it confirms that your Alaska entity is current on biennial reports and all licensing requirements. The document is identical in effect to a Certificate of Good Standing from any other state.
Alaska's official document name
Alaska is the only state where Certificate of Compliance is the official document title. A handful of other states — Alabama and Arizona among them — list “Certificate of Compliance” as an accepted alternate name for their own Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Good Standing.
