DBA (Doing Business As) Name:

To establish a name different than your official LLC company name, file a Trade Name Application and pay the $10 filing fee.

Copies of Documents:

Order document copies of your Arizona business paperwork from the Arizona Corporation Commission for $5 + $0.50 per page. Certified copies are also available for $15 plus $0.50 per page.

Status Certificate:

This document, also known as an Arizona certificate of good standing, may be obtained by contacting the Secretary of State and paying the $10 cost. Banks and lending institutions often demand a certificate of status.
