From Utah to Arizona, step by step

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Ordered from Utah on filing day, it easily meets Arizona's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form L025
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Utah name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Utah delays the Arizona filing. After approval, your Utah LLC is registered with Arizona.

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

A corporation formed in Utah files Form C018 with Arizona ($178.85 in state fees and the $35 required expedite). After that come Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18) and Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Arizona into Utah

An LLC formed in Arizona that registers with Utah files Utah's registration (no form number) with $59 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Utah owners ask about Arizona

Does my Utah company need to register in Arizona?

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

How much does it cost to register a Utah LLC in Arizona?

$387.30 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $399.30 in all (checkout is $153.30 in state fees, the $35 required expedite and our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arizona wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), no more than 60 days old at filing.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite; Utah's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Utah's report ($18) and no Arizona yearly report.

What if I don't register with Arizona?

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

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

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

Will Arizona accept my Utah name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

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