How to order it

  1. Clear any past-due filings first. The Arizona SOS will not issue a certificate while you have unpaid tax or an unfiled report. The state-specific requirements are in the points below.
  2. Order it online. Search your LLC in the Arizona portal, request the certificate, and download it. Link in the table above.
  3. Pay the $10 fee. Pay by card at checkout. A small card surcharge usually applies.
  4. Use it inside the recipient's window. The certificate has no state expiration, but banks and other states usually want one dated within the last 30 to 90 days. Order it close to when you need it.

Important to know about Arizona

  • Arizona LLCs do NOT file annual reports (only corporations and nonprofits do), so LLC good standing depends on keeping the statutory agent current and not being administratively dissolved. Do not pay any third party that invoices an LLC for an Arizona annual report.
  • Arizona Business Center (ABC) replaced the prior eCorp portal on January 12, 2026. eCorp was fully decommissioned on January 2, 2026 and its URL no longer works. Any older guide or third-party checklist still referencing ecorp.azcc.gov is out of date. ABC adds QR-code verification to Certificates of Good Standing, which the old eCorp certificates did not carry.
  • LLCs formed outside Maricopa and Pima counties must complete the LLC publication requirement within 60 days of approval. An LLC that has not published is still in good standing with the ACC but may fail third-party due diligence checks.
  • Fraudulent Certificate of Good Standing solicitations circulate by mail in Arizona. A Certificate of Good Standing is never required to form an LLC and is always $10 direct from the ACC.

Ordering this to register in another state?

A certificate of good standing is what a new state asks for when you register your Arizona LLC to do business there. Start with the guide for where you are expanding.
