Confirm any Arizona company is real, active, and who stands behind it — straight from the state's own registry.
How to Check a Arizona Business
Every legitimate Arizona company leaves a paper trail at the Arizona Corporation Commission — searchable through eCorp. Before you wire a deposit, sign a lease, or take a job offer, thirty seconds in the registry tells you whether the company exists, whether it's in good standing, and who accepts lawsuits on its behalf.
Arizona files corporations with an elected Corporation Commission, not the Secretary of State — and LLC publication requirements in two counties were only recently dropped. Content reviewed July 30, 2026 by the SearchSystems editorial team.
The entity is current on its state filings and fees. It says nothing about solvency or honesty — just that the paperwork is up to date.
The company isn't in the registry. Scam?
Maybe — or it's a sole proprietorship (often not required to register), or registered in another state and doing business here. Check Delaware and neighboring states before concluding.
Who is the registered agent?
The person or company designated to receive lawsuits and official mail. It's often a service firm, not the owner — but it's where legal papers go.
Can I see who owns the company?
Sometimes. Officer and organizer names appear in many states' filings, but ownership itself often doesn't — LLC members can stay private in most states.
