We got the following message in an email we received from the Arizona Corporation Commission today, October 1, 2018:

“THE DOCUMENT INTAKE MAILBOX IS BEING DISCONTINUED, EFFECTIVE AT 5:00 P.M. MST, OCTOBER 5, 2018.  We will continue to accept documents emailed to [email protected] through October 5, 2018 at 5 pm MST.  After that point, the mailbox will be closed and will not accept any additional emails.  We strongly encourage you to use online filing available at http://ecorp.azcc.gov.  We will continue to accept paper documents mailed or walked in to 1300 W. Washington St, Phoenix, AZ  85007.  If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at 602-542-3026.”

This is very troubling.  We have sent problems that needed fixing for LLCs and corporations to this email address for a very long time.  Now instead of continuing a reliable method of communication the Arizona Corporation Commission wants people to use its broken online ecorp system.
