File a change-of-agent form with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC), pay any state fee, and make sure the new agent has consented. Incofile's change of registered agent service handles the filing for $119, which also includes a full year of our Arizona registered agent service.

Arizona registered agent — frequently asked questions
Do I need a registered agent for my Arizona LLC?
Yes. Arizona requires every LLC and corporation to name a registered agent on its formation documents and to keep one continuously. The agent accepts service of process (lawsuits) and official notices from the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) on the company's behalf.
Can I be my own registered agent in Arizona?
You can if you are an adult with a physical street address in Arizona (not a PO box) and you are available there during normal business hours. Many owners prefer a service so their home address stays off the public record, nothing is missed while they travel, and the address does not have to change when they move.
How much does a registered agent cost in Arizona?
Incofile's Arizona registered agent service is $119 per year, and the first year is included free when you form your company with any Incofile package. Acting as your own agent costs nothing in fees but puts your address on the public record.
What happens if my Arizona LLC has no registered agent?
The state can refuse filings, mark the company as not in good standing and eventually administratively dissolve it. Worse, a lawsuit can proceed without you ever being properly notified. Keeping a registered agent on file is one of the cheapest forms of protection a company has.
Can I use a registered agent address as my business address?
A registered agent address is for legal and state mail only. If you need a business street address for banking, invoices or your website, add a virtual business address — Incofile offers one alongside registered agent service.
How do I change my registered agent in Arizona?
File a change-of-registered-agent form with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) and pay any state fee. Incofile can prepare and file it for you ($119, which includes a year of our registered agent service) so there is no gap in coverage.
