Arizona Registered Agent

Yes, you can be your own registered agent in Arizona. With that said, after considering the requirements for a registered agent, most business owners elect to hire a registered agent service instead.

Why? Well, while being your own registered agent will cost you $0, an Arizona registered agent’s name and address becomes part of the accessible public record.  Additionally, a registered agent must remain at their designated registered office location during normal business hours five days a week, in order to be available for accepting service of process

We scan all documents locally from our office in Phoenix, AZ.

Yes. We’re the only national registered agent service that allows our clients to list our address for everything when you’re doing a filing to keep you private address off public records.

As your registered agent, we give you five FREE scans of regular business mail a year. You can request any additional documents to be forwarded at a per document rate of $15.

Expecting more mail? We can set you up with our Arizona Premium Mail Forwarding service. That gives you unlimited same day scans or weekly physical mail forwarding. Plus, you’ll get a unique suite address. You can use that address on invoices, websites, letterhead, or anywhere else you want to protect your privacy and get your mail safely and securely.

You hire us first and then do your business registration filing with the Corporation Commission. The state won’t allow you to form an Arizona LLC or corporation without an Arizona statutory agent. Plus, you’ll find all the forms and instructions you need to complete your filing instantly after you sign up.

Service on your registered agent is legal proof that you were notified. Regardless of whether you actually receive the documents your Arizona registered agent signs for, once they accept the documents, you’ve been notified. This is a serious responsibility that we do not take lightly. This is how it works:

• A process server, the county sheriff, or any third party will walk into our office and hand us the documents (service of process), which we sign for.
• The process server then gives an affidavit (a receipt of service) to the court as confirmation that they served us.

To find a company’s registered agent, you can do an Arizona business name search.

• Type in the name of the company you’re searching for.
• In the results, you’ll find the registered agent’s name and registered office street address.

If you want to legally notify a business, just send a certified letter directly to the registered agent name and registered office address.

In Arizona, to resign as a statutory agent, you need to submit a Statutory Agent Resignation form to the Arizona Corporation Commission. For a more detailed walkthrough, you can refer to our guide on how to resign as a registered agent in Arizona.
