From Nebraska to Arizona, step by step

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

Will your Nebraska name work for Arizona?

If Arizona's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Nebraska company. We check your exact Nebraska name against Arizona's records before filing.

Your Arizona agent and the Nebraska one

Arizona calls it a statutory agent; Nebraska says agent for service of process. Your current agent for service of process stays for Nebraska; ours takes Arizona's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Arizona and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Arizona wants the Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure every year ($45). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Arizona

An LLC formed in Nebraska files Form L025 with Arizona ($153.30 in state fees and the $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Arizona into Nebraska

A corporation formed in Arizona that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Arizona

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Arizona?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Nebraska corporation in Arizona?

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

How long does the Arizona registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Arizona's report ($45).

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Arizona for year one.

Will Arizona accept my Nebraska name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska 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 Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

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