Idaho LLC Foreign Registration in Arizona

Arizona registers an LLC from Idaho as a foreign LLC on Form L025, with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite. Arizona also asks for Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Corporation Commission, Corporations Division from your Idaho records, then serve as your statutory agent there for year one.

From Idaho to Arizona, step by step

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Arizona accepts it within 60 days of Idaho's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form L025
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Idaho certificate comes first; then the Arizona filing goes in. Once Arizona approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Agents: Arizona and Idaho

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

Yearly filings: Arizona and Idaho

Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee); Arizona has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Arizona

A corporation formed in Idaho files Form C018 with Arizona ($178.85 in state fees and the $35 required expedite). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Arizona company in Idaho

An LLC formed in Arizona that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Idaho owners ask about Arizona

Does my Idaho company need to register in Arizona?

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

How much does the Arizona registration cost?

$387.30 at checkout plus $10 to Idaho for the Certificate of Existence, $397.30 in all (checkout is $153.30 in state fees, the $35 required expedite and our $199).

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arizona wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite, once Idaho's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Idaho's report (no fee) and no Arizona yearly report.

What if I don't register with Arizona?

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

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Yes: the Idaho registered agent stays, and ours covers Arizona for year one.

Will Arizona accept my Idaho name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Idaho name at home.

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

Idaho companies leave by filing Form L026 ($10); until then, both the Arizona registration and Idaho's filings stay in place.
