Register an LLC to Do Business in Arizona Questionnaire

Date*

LLC's Name*

Enter the LLC's exact name.

Arizona Name Check*

Before completing this Agreement, check the ACC’s Name Availability Database to determine if your limited liability company’s exact name is used by an Arizona entity or registered as a trade name with the Arizona Secretary of State. On the ACC's search page enter your LLC's name in the entity name field then click on the icon on the bottom line that says "Name Availability Check." Include the ending LLC, L.L.C., etc. in the entity name field.

If the exact name of your limited liability company is used in Arizona by another entity or is registered as a trade name with the Arizona Secretary of State, your limited liability company cannot register to do business or conduct affairs in Arizona under its actual name. Instead, the limited liability company must use a fictitious name in Arizona and deliver to the ACC a copy of a resolution of the members of the limited liability company authorizing the limited liability company to transact business in Arizona using the fictitious name. To learn how to get an Arizona trade name watch our video.

What is a Statutory Agent?*

The LLC must have an Arizona statutory agent. A statutory agent, often called a “registered agent,” is an individual or a business entity that the LLC appoints in Arizona for the purpose of accepting service of process (lawsuit papers or legal documents) for the LLC. The agent is called a “statutory” agent because a statute requires that the LLC appoint someone for this purpose. See A.R .S. § 29- 3115. If, for example, a lawsuit is filed against the LLC, the statutory agent will be the one who is served (receives the papers on behalf of the LLC), and then the statutory agent should give the papers to the LLC. Note that the law requires that the LLC maintain a statutory agent with a valid address on the records of the Arizona Corporation Commission at all times, and the failure to do so will subject the LLC to being administratively revoked. See A.R.S. § 29-3708. Official notices from the Arizona Corporation Commission will be sent to the Arizona statutory agent’s address.

Who Can Be a Statutory Agent?*

A statutory agent can be an individual, or an Arizona corporation or LLC, or a foreign corporation or LLC that is authorized to transact business in Arizona. An LLC cannot be its own statutory agent – it must appoint someone apart from itself. For example, the LLC can appoint one of its managers or members in his or her capacity as an individual as the statutory agent, but cannot appoint the LLC itself as the statutory agent. If an individual is appointed as the statutory agent, that individual must be a permanent, full-time resident of the State of Arizona and must have a permanent, full-time physical or street address in the State of Arizona. The mailing address, if any, of that individual statutory agent must also be in Arizona. The statutory agent must accept the appointment in writing. The statutory agent can accept the appointment by completing and submitting the Statutory Agent Acceptance form. If the statutory agent is an entity, an authorized agent of that entity can sign the acceptance. An authorized agent is anyone given authority to sign for that entity.

Who Will be the LLC's Statutory Agent?*

The LLC wants to hire KEYTLaw, LLC, to be its statutory agent for $99/year payable in advance.
