For $50, the LLC comes into existence through the Articles of Organization (Form L010), delivered to the Arizona Corporation Commission. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
- Publication: a notice runs three times within 60 days unless the statutory agent is in a county of more than 800,000 people, where the Commission posts it instead.
