Arizona statutory agent requirements, quoted from the source (Arizona Corporation Commission)
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
An Arizona resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Arizona or authorized to do business there. The appointment takes effect only once the agent accepts it in writing. Look up A.R.S. § 29-3115.
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.
