#1 Number 1

1. Mainstay Filing: best for the same fee everywhere

Service $199 plus $150 to the state; agent renewal $149

Mainstay Filing is our answer because the $199 fee is identical everywhere, and the first year of statutory agent service comes with it.

The $100 gap to Arizona Registered Agent.co over three years is the price of national reach.

Year one carries no statutory agent fee; after that it is $149 a year.

Questions and replies

Does my out-of-state LLC need to register here?

An LLC from another state registers with the Arizona Corporation Commission, Corporations Division ahead of transacting business in Arizona.

Without registering, expect its own lawsuits are blocked (A.R.S. 29-3902(B)).
