How Arkansas companies register with Arizona

Order the Arkansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Arkansas separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Ordered from Arkansas on filing day, it easily meets Arizona's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form L025
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Arkansas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Arkansas delays the Arizona filing. Once Arizona approves it, the Arkansas company can do business there.

Your Arkansas name and Arizona's rules

If Arizona's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Arkansas company. We search Arizona's records for Arkansas's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Arizona agent and the Arkansas one

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

Will Arizona accept my Arkansas name?

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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