What is an Arizona registered agent?

Arizona refers to a resident agent or registered agent as a statutory agent. An Arizona statutory agent can be either an organization qualified by the AZ Corporation Commission or an adult individual. You furnish the registered agent name and address on your corporate paperwork with the state. The AZ registered agent is responsible for receiving renewal notices and legal notices on your behalf, and forwarding them to your organization. Arizona registered agents must have a physical location in Arizona and be present at that address during normal business hours. Typically a deputy or process server will deliver the legal service of process to the Arizona resident agent’s address. A party to a lawsuit may also deliver the court papers by certified mail to the Arizona registered agent at the registered office address and that will be legal proof that you have been served, regardless of whether or not your registered agent delivers it to your company.

The Arizona statutory agent’s obligation is to be available at the address listed as the AZ registered office address during normal business hours. All official documents from the state will be sent to the Arizona resident agent’s address.
