Arizona registered agent pricing in 2026: first year, renewals, three-year total

Why Mainstay Filing is first
Filing Shortlist puts 28% of the weight on three-year price and 28% on what the price covers. The remaining 44% goes to renewal terms, fit for the state and price clarity, and for Arizona the deciding factor was what the price covers.
Mainstay's plan covers a wider area: it scans papers served on the company the same business day at no charge, the price stays the same in all fifty states, and three government letters a year are scanned free. AZ Registered Agent.org is cheaper, and the two end up close.

Arizona statutory agent rules from Arizona Corporation Commission
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.
What Arizona expects after you appoint an agent
Arizona does not ask for a yearly LLC report. What remains is keeping a statutory agent on record, since the state sends its notices there.
