Telephonic Sellers refers to any voice communication to a telephone number in Arizona from a live operator, announcing device or other means of offering merchandise for sale or rent. Per Arizona Revised Statutes Title 44, Chapter 9, Article 6 (Telephone Solicitation Law), you can choose between three options: full registration, limited registration and a filing exemption.
This office is not able to make the determination for you as to which filing you should submit. You should consult an attorney to answer specific questions. This office is only a filing agency and customer service representatives are not able to interpret statutes. Also, you may read the Telephonic Seller Overview as an additional resource. The overview is purely informational and should not be construed as legal advice.

Filing Tips
For all full registrations, please make sure to have your bond countersigned, include your script and make sure the bond is notarized.
- Our office cannot determine whether a seller is legitimate, nor can our office take action or look into a questionable seller. For any questions or concerns related to a telephonic seller’s legitimacy, please contact the Attorney General’s office. You can request the Attorney General to investigate on your behalf by completing and submitting the Consumer Complaint Form.
- Consult private legal counsel for assistance regarding telephonic sellers.
- Our search website does not provide scanned images of what has been previously processed. To get paper copies of what has been accepted from a filed telephone seller, submit a Public Record Request Form. Our office will contact you with a price (10 cents per page filing fee, and for certified copies please include an additional $3). Payment must be received prior to processing your request.
