From Arizona to Iowa, step by step

We prepare and file Form 635_0110A
It names us as your Iowa registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date. If Iowa wants the Arizona certificate, it is ordered first. Once Iowa approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Will your Arizona name work for Iowa?

If another Iowa company uses the Arizona name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Arizona name against Iowa's records before filing.

Common questions: Arizona to Iowa

Does my Arizona company need to register in Iowa?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Iowa registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Iowa calls it registration for Arizona corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does it cost to register an Arizona corporation in Iowa?

$299 at checkout; Iowa may also want Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Iowa?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Arizona's report ($45) and Iowa's report ($60, every two years).

Does Iowa require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Iowa for year one.

Will Iowa accept my Arizona name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Arizona name at home.

Can I form a new Iowa corporation instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Iowa's Biennial Report ($60), and the original keeps Arizona's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Iowa later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Statement of Withdrawal; until then, Iowa's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
