How Indiana companies register with Arizona

We prepare and file Form C018
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Indiana name and formation date. If Arizona wants the Indiana certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Indiana corporation is registered with Arizona.

Will your Indiana name work for Arizona?

If another Arizona company uses the Indiana name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Arizona's records for Indiana's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Arizona agent and the Indiana one

Arizona calls it a statutory agent; Indiana says registered agent. Arizona papers come to us; Indiana's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Arizona and Indiana

Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32); Arizona wants the Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure every year ($45). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Indiana to Arizona

An LLC formed in Indiana files Form L025 with Arizona ($153.30 in state fees and the $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Existence ($15)). See the LLC filing.

Common questions: Indiana to Arizona

Does my Indiana company need to register in Arizona?

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Arizona issues one to Indiana corporations once the form is approved.

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

$412.85 at checkout, including the $35 required expedite; Arizona may also want Indiana's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite, plus time for Indiana's certificate if Arizona asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Arizona's report ($45).

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Yes: the Indiana registered agent stays, and ours covers Arizona for year one.

Will Arizona accept my Indiana name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona corporation instead?

Yes, but Indiana keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45), and the original keeps Indiana's Business Entity Report.

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

Indiana companies leave by filing Form C025, Application for Withdrawal ($25); until then, Arizona's report stays due alongside Indiana's filings.
