Foreign Registration in Arizona

Registering Your Company as Foreign Entity in Arizona

If your company is registered outside of Arizona it is required to obtain a certificate of authority before transacting business in the state.

 

This process is called “Foreign Qualification”, and it involves filing Application for Authority with the Arizona Corporation Commission.

 

To approve foreign qualification application Arizona Corporation Commission requires certificate of good standing or its equivalent from the home state. The certificate must be current within 60 days. Keep in mind, foreign entity is required to appoint and maintain a registered agent in Arizona on file at all times in order to be in good standing.

 

The filing process with Arizona Corporation Commission could take 6-7 weeks, with expedited option of 9 business days available for extra fee. Applicants should also allow additional time for obtaining the certificate of good standing from their home state.

 

REMEMBER: Arizona requires that every corporation and LLC formed in the state to publish a legal notice of its formation. Same rule applies to every corporation and LLC formed in another state but authorized to do business as a foreign entity in Arizona. Learn more about Arizona publication requirements here.
