How New Hampshire companies register with Arizona

Order the New Hampshire certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from New Hampshire separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. It comes as a short form ($5) or a long form ($10). Arizona accepts it within 60 days of New Hampshire'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 New Hampshire name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Hampshire's certificate is in hand, Arizona's filing goes in. After approval, your New Hampshire LLC is registered with Arizona.

What if I don't register with Arizona?

A New Hampshire company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

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

Will Arizona accept my New Hampshire name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

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