Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

Missouri registers an LLC from Arizona as a foreign LLC on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing ($10), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Arizona records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Arizona companies register with Missouri

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri counts 60 days from the day Arizona issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Missouri filing goes in. Once Missouri approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

What if I don't register with Missouri?

An Arizona company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Missouri yearly report, and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Arizona's filings stay in place.
