Arizona Business Compliance
Arizona Registered Agent (Statutory Agent) Service
Every Arizona LLC needs a Statutory Agent on file. Here's what that means, what it costs, and how to keep your home address off the public record.
Required
Every Arizona LLC and corporation must have a Statutory Agent on file with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Arizona Calls It a "Statutory Agent"
Most states, and most service providers, use the term "Registered Agent." Arizona's official filings use "Statutory Agent" instead, they mean the same role: a person or company with a physical Arizona address, available during business hours, to receive legal notices and state correspondence on your LLC's behalf.
If you act as your own Statutory Agent, your name and home address become permanent public record with the Arizona Corporation Commission. A registered agent service keeps a business address on file instead, and forwards anything important to you privately.

Common Questions
What Arizona Business Owners Ask Us
Is a Statutory Agent the same as a Registered Agent?
Yes. Arizona uses the term "Statutory Agent" on official state filings, while most business-service providers use the more common national term "Registered Agent." They refer to the same legal role.
Is a Statutory Agent legally required in Arizona?
Yes. Every Arizona LLC and corporation must designate a Statutory Agent with a physical Arizona street address, available during normal business hours to accept legal and state documents.
Can I be my own Statutory Agent?
Yes, if you have a physical Arizona address and are available during business hours. The tradeoff is that your name and address become part of the public record with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
What happens if my LLC doesn't have a valid Statutory Agent?
The Arizona Corporation Commission can administratively dissolve your LLC if it doesn't have a valid Statutory Agent on file, which means losing your liability protection until you reinstate the business.
