How Nevada companies register with Arizona

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Arizona accepts it within 60 days of Nevada'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 Nevada name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Nevada certificate comes first; then the Arizona filing goes in. After approval, your Nevada LLC is registered with Arizona.

Will your Nevada name work for Arizona?

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

Your Arizona agent and the Nevada one

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

Yearly filings: Arizona and Nevada

Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350); Arizona has no annual report for LLCs. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Arizona

A corporation formed in Nevada files Form C018 with Arizona ($178.85 in state fees and the $35 required expedite). After that come Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent and Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Arizona into Nevada

An LLC formed in Arizona that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees; no Arizona certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Nevada owners ask about Arizona

Does my Nevada company need to register in Arizona?

$387.30 at checkout plus $50 to Nevada for the Certificate of Existence, $437.30 in all (checkout is $153.30 in state fees, the $35 required expedite and our $199).

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arizona wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), 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 Nevada's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report ($350) and no Arizona yearly report.

What if I don't register with Arizona?

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

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

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

Will Arizona accept my Nevada name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

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