Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Hawaii

Hawaii registers an LLC from Arizona as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $51 in state fees. Hawaii also wants Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing ($10), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division using your Arizona records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Arizona to Hawaii, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Hawaii order. Hawaii accepts it within 60 days of Arizona's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It names us as your Hawaii registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Hawaii filing goes in. Once Hawaii approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Hawaii

Does my Arizona company need to register in Hawaii?

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

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

$250 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $260 in all (checkout is $51 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Hawaii wants it ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Hawaii?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Hawaii's report ($15).

What if I don't register with Hawaii?

An Arizona company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Hawaii require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Hawaii LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Hawaii later?

Arizona companies leave by filing Form FLLC-2; until then, Hawaii's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
