From Kansas to Arizona, step by step

Order the Kansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) is ordered from Kansas separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Arizona accepts it within 60 days of Kansas's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form L025
It names us as your Arizona statutory agent, with your Kansas name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Kansas certificate comes first; then the Arizona filing goes in. After approval, your Kansas LLC is registered with Arizona.

A Kansas company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Will Arizona accept my Kansas name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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

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