What Are the Documents Required to Create an LLC in Arizona?
Forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Arizona is an excellent way to structure your business, offering liability protection and operational flexibility. However, creating an LLC involves preparing and filing specific legal documents to comply with Arizona state laws.

At McCain & Bursh Attorneys at Law, P.C., we provide legal assistance to the Los Angeles public, guiding business owners through every step of forming an LLC in Arizona.
Key Documents Needed to Form an LLC in Arizona
- Articles of Organization
- This essential document officially establishes your LLC. It includes basic information such as the LLC’s name, address, and registered agent. You must file it with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC).
- Statutory Agent Acceptance Form
- This form identifies your statutory agent (also known as a registered agent), who will receive legal documents on behalf of the LLC. The agent must sign an acceptance of this responsibility.
- Operating Agreement
- Although not required by Arizona law, an operating agreement outlines the LLC’s management structure, member roles, and operational procedures. It is highly recommended to prevent disputes and ensure clarity among members.
- Publication Notice
- Arizona requires new LLCs to publish a notice of formation in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks unless the LLC is based in Maricopa or Pima County, where this requirement is waived.
- EIN (Employer Identification Number)
- If your LLC has employees or multiple members, you’ll need to obtain an EIN from the IRS for tax purposes.
