Arizona, 2026: Mainstay Filing ($149 a year), AZ Registered Agent.org ($99 a year) and Arizona Registered Agent.co ($99 a year) come out on top for a registered agent, in that sequence. A statutory agent is required for every Arizona LLC, but the state itself collects no yearly report fee.

The Arizona picks
The methodology explains the order. Three-year service fees count 34%, the filings a price covers count 26%, and renewal price, fit with Arizona rules and fee labeling make up the rest.
1. Mainstay Filing: best for companies that may grow into other states
$149 a year ($149 on renewal)
We put Mainstay Filing first: $149 a year with no increase at renewal, valid in every state.
Three years of service fees come to $150 more than AZ Registered Agent.org; for that the price takes in more of the state's paperwork.
What the price buys
- Registered office address in Arizona
- Anything served on the company is scanned and sent to you that business day, free of charge
- The first three letters from government agencies each year are scanned at no charge
- Also open to nonprofits, partnerships and corporations, not only LLCs
In its favor
- A single provider for any state
- $149 yearly, the same at renewal
Against it
- Costs $50 more each year than AZ Registered Agent.org
- Report filing sits with the formation package
2. AZ Registered Agent.org: best for companies that stay in Arizona
$99 a year ($99 on renewal)
Our second pick, AZ Registered Agent.org, earns its place since $99 per year for an agent whose office address is inside the state.
What the price buys
- Arizona street address serves as the registered office
- Legal papers served on the company are scanned and posted for you
In its favor
- Each year it bills less than Mainstay Filing
- A flat $99 a year
Against it
- Another state means another agent
3. Arizona Registered Agent.co: best for businesses based only in Arizona
$99 a year ($99 on renewal)
Our third pick, Arizona Registered Agent.co, earns its place since $99 per year for an agent whose office address is inside the state.
AZ Registered Agent.org charges the same.
What the price buys
- Arizona street address serves as the registered office

Arizona statutory agent rules, as the state writes them
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.
Who counts as an agent: 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. Authority: A.R.S. § 29-3115.
What Arizona bills each year
Beyond keeping a current statutory agent, Arizona wants nothing each year.
The reasoning behind the order
Paperwork the price takes on decided first place in Arizona. It counts for 26% of the score; the remaining criteria are three-year service charge, year-two price, match to the state's calendar, fee labeling.
An agent that stays with you in every state outscored AZ Registered Agent.org's smaller price.
