How Vermont companies register with Arizona

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($35) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Ordered from Vermont 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 Vermont name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Vermont issues the certificate instantly, so the Arizona filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Vermont LLC is registered with Arizona.

Do I need Vermont's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arizona wants it ($35), no more than 60 days old at filing.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

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

What if I don't register with Arizona?

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

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Will Arizona accept my Vermont name?

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

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

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