Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Arkansas

Arkansas registers an LLC from Arizona as a foreign LLC on Form FL-01, with $270 in state fees. Arkansas also asks for Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing ($10), no older than 30 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business and Commercial Services using your Arizona records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Arizona to Arkansas, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Arkansas order. Arkansas counts 30 days from the day Arizona issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form FL-01
It lists us as your Arkansas registered agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Arizona's certificate is in hand, Arkansas's filing goes in. Once Arkansas approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Will your Arizona name work for Arkansas?

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

Your Arkansas agent and the Arizona one

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

Yearly filings: Arkansas and Arizona

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Arkansas wants the Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report every year ($150). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

The other way: Arkansas into Arizona

An LLC formed in Arkansas that registers with Arizona files Form L025 with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($25) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Arkansas

Does my Arizona company need to register in Arkansas?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Arkansas law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register an Arizona LLC in Arkansas?

$469 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $479 in all (checkout is $270 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arkansas wants it ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Arkansas registration take?

Arkansas's standard processing takes three to five business days, once Arizona's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Arkansas?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Arkansas's report ($150).

What if I don't register with Arkansas?

An Arizona company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Arkansas can add a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Arkansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Arkansas for year one, with a street address there.

Will Arkansas 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 Arkansas LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report ($150), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Arkansas later?

Arizona companies leave by filing Form FL-04; until then, Arkansas's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
