Question:  How can I check the records of the Arizona Corporation Commission to see if my new LLC’s Articles of Organization have been approved or if the information listed for the company and its members and managers is correct?

Answer:  Search for the LLC on the Arizona Corporation Commission’s name search database.  If any LLC information displayed is incorrect, a member (if member managed) or a manager (if manager managed) must take action to correct the bad information.

If an address of the company or the statutory agent is wrong, file a Statement of Change of Known Place of Business Address or Statutory Agent with the ACC.  If the address of a member or manager is wrong file a Statement of Change of Manager or Member Addresses with the ACC.

A member (if member managed) or a manager (if manager managed) of an LLC must file an Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Organization to correct any of the following errors:

  • The LLC is member managed and the ACC’s records show a person or entity that is no longer a member or does not show a person or entity that is a member.
  • The LLC is manager managed and the ACC’s records shows a person or entity: (i)  that is no longer a member, or (ii) who no longer owns 20% or more of the LLC
  • The LLC is manager managed and the ACC’s records do not show a person or entity who owns 20% or more of the LLC.
  • The LLC is manager managed and the ACC’s records show a person or entity that is no longer a manager or does not show a person or entity that is a manager.
