Question:  Do I need to purchase a Certificate of Good Standing for my Arizona limited liability company from the Arizona Corporation Commission?

Answer:  Not unless a third party requires it.  The purpose of the Certificate of Good Standing is to prove to people or companies that your Arizona LLC was formed and is in good standing with the Arizona Corporation Commission.  You do not need the Certificate of Good Standing unless a third party requests it.  If you do get a request for a Certificate of Good Standing the requester will want a current Certificate of Good Standing, not one created months or years before the date of the request.

The most common reason you might need a Certificate of Good Standing is your LLC wants to borrows money from a financial institution.  Lenders frequently ask for a Certificate of Good Standing because they want to confirm that the LLC exists and is in good standing with the Arizona Corporation Commission when the lender loans the money.

Don’t waste your money on getting a Certificate of Good Standing unless somebody asks for it and complying with the request is important to your LLC.
