From Arizona to New York, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our New York order. New York accepts it within one year of Arizona's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the New York filing goes in. Once New York approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

New York calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Your current statutory agent stays for Arizona; ours takes New York's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: New York and Arizona

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Certificate of Surrender of Authority of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New York's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
