How Indiana companies register with Arizona

Order the Indiana certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($15) is ordered from Indiana separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Arizona counts 60 days from the day Indiana issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form L025
It names us as your Arizona statutory agent, with your Indiana name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Indiana's certificate is in hand, Arizona's filing goes in. After approval, your Indiana LLC is registered with Arizona.
