Arizona LLC Statutory Agent
Under Arizona Revised Statutes Title 29, Chapter 7 (Arizona LLC Act), every limited liability company formed or registered to do business in Arizona must continuously maintain a statutory agent within the state. Arizona is one of the few states that uses the term "statutory agent" rather than "registered agent," though the function is identical.
The statutory agent must maintain a physical street address in Arizona where they can accept service of process during normal business hours. P.O. Boxes are not acceptable. The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) oversees all business entity filings and compliance, including statutory agent appointments and changes.
Understanding the Arizona Corporation Commission's Role
Unlike most states where the Secretary of State oversees business filings, Arizona delegates this authority to the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). The ACC is a constitutionally created body that regulates corporations, LLCs, and other business entities operating within the state. All statutory agent appointments, changes, and resignations must be filed through the ACC's eCorp filing system. This distinction matters because the ACC has its own procedures, timelines, and requirements that differ from Secretary of State offices in other states.
When you form an LLC in Arizona, your Articles of Organization must include a statutory agent acceptance signed by the agent. If the agent later resigns under A.R.S. § 29-3116, the resignation takes effect on the 31st day after filing, giving you a limited window to appoint a replacement. Failure to do so within 60 days triggers administrative dissolution proceedings by the ACC. Arizona LLCs are not required to file annual reports, but corporations must file an annual report by the anniversary of their incorporation. Our statutory agent service monitors all ACC deadlines and ensures your entity remains in active standing regardless of entity type.
Arizona's statutory agent requirements apply equally to domestic entities formed in the state and foreign entities registered to do business here. If your LLC is organized in another state but transacts business in Arizona, you must register with the ACC and appoint a statutory agent with a physical address in Arizona. Operating without proper registration exposes your business to penalties and prevents you from enforcing contracts or filing lawsuits in Arizona courts.
