Other Services
Business Services Division – In-person services are currently unavailable until further notice due to office improvements.
Telephonic Seller Registration
In order to protect consumers from unwanted telephone sales calls and to provide increased public information, telemarketers in Arizona selling merchandise for sale or rent by means of voice communication from a live operator, announcing device or otherwise are required to register with the Secretary of State.
Veterans Charities Organizations
It is unlawful for a person to solicit money or other support in the name of American veterans unless the veterans’ organization for which the person is soliciting money or other support files a registration statement with the Secretary of State. (A.R.S. § 13-3722).
Professional Employment Organizations (PEO)
Implementation of the Professional Employer Organization ("PEO") registration will be delayed until June 30, 2023, pursuant to Laws 2013, First Special Session, Chapter 2.
In May 2005, the Arizona legislature passed legislation mandating the registration of all PEOs doing business in the state. Arizona Revised Statute § 23-561 et. seq addresses the various duties and responsibilities of a PEO regarding registration and business practices. However, because of the delayed activation, all affected applicants must wait until this registration is reconsidered in 2024.
Should you have any questions please contact a Secretary of State Representative at 602-542-6187 or 1-800-458-5842.
Corporations
The Arizona Secretary of State DOES NOT record corporations or limited liability companies (LLCs) for the state of Arizona.
If you want to file a corporation or LLC, you will need to contact an entirely separate agency called the Arizona Corporation Commission. Our office cannot answer questions regarding the filing process for a corporation or LLC, nor can we access any detailed filing information.
You may research corporate public records on the Arizona Corporation Commission's search website.
