To change your Arizona LLC’s principal address or statutory agent, file an Arizona LLC Statement of Change with the Arizona Corporation Commission. The form costs $5, and keeping this information current is what stops the ACC from starting administrative dissolution against your company.
When You Need to File
The ACC uses the Statement of Change to record three kinds of updates: a new known place of business address, a new statutory agent, or a new address for the agent already on file.1Arizona Corporation Commission. Business Services FAQs Arizona law doesn’t set a specific number of days after the change to file, but your LLC must have a valid Arizona statutory agent on file with the ACC at all times.2Arizona Corporation Commission. LLC Statement of Change of Principal Address or Statutory Agent Instructions Once records go stale, a dissolution clock starts.
One boundary worth flagging up front: changing the addresses of your LLC’s managers or members takes a different form. That filing also costs $5 but is not the same document.3Arizona Corporation Commission. Fee Schedule – LLCs Use the right form for the type of change you’re reporting.
Forms You’ll Need
The main document is Form L020, the Statement of Change of Principal Address or Statutory Agent.4Arizona Corporation Commission. LLC Statement of Change of Principal Address or Statutory Agent You’ll need the LLC’s exact legal name, its ACC entity ID number, and both the current and new address for the known place of business. That address must be a physical location in Arizona.
If you’re appointing a new statutory agent, add Form M002, the Statutory Agent Acceptance.5Arizona Corporation Commission. Statutory Agent Acceptance – M002 The new agent signs it to confirm they accept the role. The name and address on the acceptance form must match exactly what appears on Form L020, or the entire filing will be rejected. A manager or a member with authority to bind the LLC signs the Statement of Change itself. Both forms are fillable PDFs on the ACC website, and typing them rather than handwriting them cuts down on legibility problems during processing.
How to File and What It Costs
The fastest route is the ACC’s online portal, renamed the Arizona Business Center in early 2026, which handles digital uploads and electronic payment.6Arizona Corporation Commission.

Business Services FAQs If a lawsuit deadline or a closing depends on having current information on file, the higher tiers earn their price. And unlike the initial Articles of Organization, a Statement of Change does not need to be published in a newspaper. Once the ACC approves the filing, the update is complete.2Arizona Corporation Commission. LLC Statement of Change of Principal Address or Statutory Agent Instructions
What Happens If You Don’t File
If your LLC goes 60 consecutive days without a statutory agent, the ACC can begin administrative dissolution.7Arizona Legislature. Arizona Code Title 29 – Section 29-3708 – Administrative Dissolution The commission first sends notice to the agent’s last known address, or to the company’s principal address if that fails. From the date of that notice, the LLC has 60 days to fix the problem.
Miss that window and the ACC issues a statement of administrative dissolution. A dissolved LLC can’t carry on normal business. It continues to exist only to wind down operations and liquidate assets, meaning no new contracts and no new sales.7Arizona Legislature. Arizona Code Title 29 – Section 29-3708 – Administrative Dissolution
You can apply for reinstatement, but you have six years from the dissolution date to do it. The application must show the original grounds have been cured and must include all fees and penalties that accrued during the dissolution period.8Arizona Legislature. Arizona Code Title 29 – Section 29-3709 – Reinstatement There’s also a shorter internal deadline: if you don’t apply within six months, the ACC releases your company name for others to use. Lose it, and you’ll need to pick a new one as part of reinstatement.
If Your Statutory Agent Resigns
Agents can resign without the LLC’s permission. To do so, the agent files Form L032, Statutory Agent Resignation, with the ACC and mails written notice to the LLC at its last known address.9Arizona Corporation Commission. Statutory Agent Resignation – L032 There is no filing fee.
The resignation takes effect on the 31st day after the ACC receives the form, or when the LLC appoints a new agent, whichever comes first. That’s a narrow window to find a replacement. Once the slot is empty, the 60-day dissolution clock under A.R.S. § 29-3708 starts running. Treat a resignation notice as urgent and file a Statement of Change with a new Form M002 as soon as you can.
