From Arizona to Connecticut, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Connecticut counts 90 days from the day Arizona issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Connecticut registered agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Arizona's certificate is in hand, Connecticut's filing goes in. Once Connecticut approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Connecticut wants the Annual Report every year ($80). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Connecticut

A corporation formed in Arizona files its own registration with Connecticut ($385 in state fees). After that come Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Connecticut's Annual Report ($435). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Connecticut into Arizona

An LLC formed in Connecticut that registers with Arizona files Form L025 with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Connecticut

Does my Arizona company need to register in Connecticut?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Connecticut registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Connecticut registration cost?

$319 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $329 in all (checkout is $120 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Connecticut wants it ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Connecticut?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Connecticut's report ($80).

What if I don't register with Connecticut?

Connecticut can charge an Arizona company a penalty of $300 for each month.

Does Connecticut require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Connecticut LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Connecticut later?

Arizona companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (no state fee); until then, Connecticut's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
