Entity types on the Arizona register
LLC (Limited Liability Company)
Owned by members rather than shareholders. Liability sits with the company, and profits normally pass through to the members' personal tax returns. The register shows the registered agent and, in most states, the members or managers.
Corporation
Owned by shareholders and run by a board. Formed by filing articles of incorporation with the state. Some states publish officer and director names on the record; others show only the registered agent.
LP / LLP (Limited & Limited Liability Partnership)
Partnership structures where at least some partners have limited liability. The register lists the general partner and the registered agent; limited partners are usually not published.
Non-profit
Incorporated without shareholders. State registration is separate from federal 501(c) tax-exempt status, so an entity can be active on the state register and still not be tax-exempt.
What each Arizona filing status means
- Active / In Good Standing
- Registered and up to date on required reports and state fees.
- Delinquent / Not in Good Standing
- Still registered, but a report or fee is overdue. The entity exists and can usually be restored by filing.
- Administratively Dissolved / Revoked
- The state ended the registration, almost always for missed reports — not the same as the owners closing the business.
- Voluntarily Dissolved / Terminated
- The owners filed to close the entity. This is a deliberate wind-up.
- Withdrawn
- A company registered in another state has ended its authority to operate in this one. It may still be active in its home state.
- Merged / Converted
- The entity was absorbed into, or re-formed as, another entity. Follow the successor name on the record.
- Forfeited
- Rights suspended, typically for unpaid state tax. Wording varies by state and often overlaps with 'revoked'.
Wording varies between states — the Arizona Corporation Commission — eCorp is authoritative for Arizona.
How to read a Arizona entity record
- 1
Entity name and any former names. Name changes are filed as amendments, so the current name may differ from the one on a contract or invoice. Check the history before concluding a company does not exist.
- 2
Entity or file number. The state's permanent identifier. It never changes after a rename, which makes it the safest key to search or store.
- 3
Formation / registration date. Date the state accepted the filing, not the date trading began. A foreign registration date shows when the company entered this state, not when it was founded.
- 4
Status. Read with the vocabulary above — 'inactive' rarely means 'fraudulent'; most often it means a missed annual report.
- 5
Registered agent and office. The legal address for service of process. It is frequently a commercial agent's address, so it is not evidence of where the business actually operates.
- 6
Principal / mailing address. Closer to the real operating address, but self-reported and only refreshed when a report is filed.
- 7
Officers, directors, members or managers. Published in some states and withheld in others. Absence is a state policy difference, not a red flag.
- 8
Filing history. Amendments, annual reports, mergers and reinstatements. The gap between the last filing and today is the best single signal of whether a record is current.
Registered agents in Arizona
Every US state requires an entity to name a registered agent with a physical in-state address to receive legal notices. Thousands of companies share one commercial agent's address, so a shared or out-of-town agent address is normal and says nothing about the company's size or legitimacy.
Checking name availability
Names are cleared per state, and only against that state's register. A name being free here does not clear a federal trademark, a domain, or a registration in another state — and reserving a name is a separate filing from forming the entity.

These all refer to the same Arizona business register.
