Arizona registered agent cost in 2026: first year, renewal and the three-year tally

Service First year Second year Third year Three-year tally Holds its price at renewal
Arizona Registered Agent.co $99 $99 $99 $297 Yes
Mainstay Filing $149 $149 $149 $447 Yes
AZ Registered Agent.org $99 $99 $99 $297 Yes

Each price comes from the company's own site, read on November 12, 2026. Arizona charges its own fees the same way whichever agent you name.

The case for Arizona Registered Agent.co in first

Formation Scorecard scores cost across three years and coverage of the price at 25% each. Renewal terms, state-by-state fit and pricing clarity account for the other 50%. In Arizona the tie was broken by cost across three years.

Arizona Registered Agent.co tallies $297 across three years, $150 below Mainstay Filing. If Arizona is the only state, fifty-state coverage adds little, and the lower yearly price takes the points.

Every criterion and weight appears on How we rank.

What Arizona Corporation Commission requires of a Arizona statutory agent (official)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a place of business or residence in Arizona with a street address. A P.O. box can be listed only as a separate Arizona mailing address. Statute: A.R.S. § 29-3115.

Arizona and the yearly report question

Arizona has no yearly LLC report to file. The ongoing task is keeping a statutory agent on record, and state notices go to that agent's address.

Arizona registered agent: quick questions

Is an Arizona LLC obliged to keep a statutory agent?

It is. Arizona wants every LLC to have a statutory agent on file, and that agent must hold a street address inside the state.

What is the going yearly rate for a registered agent in Arizona?

Yearly prices span $99 to $149, and each service holds its price when it renews.

Is it allowed to serve as my own statutory agent?

Yes, if you satisfy the state's conditions. An Arizona resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Arizona or authorized to do business there. The appointment takes effect only once the agent accepts it in writing.

Which registered agents sit on this card?

Arizona Registered Agent.co ($99 a year), Mainstay Filing ($149 a year) and AZ Registered Agent.org ($99 a year), top to bottom.

What does a statutory agent actually do?

The statutory agent is where lawsuits, subpoenas and state notices are officially delivered. It accepts them for the company and forwards them, and each plan on this card scans them to your online account.

Which Arizona registered agent scores best on value?

Arizona Registered Agent.co, since $99 a year, steady at renewal, and the lowest yearly price on this list.
