Skip the State’s Invasive New ID Verification Hassle


✗  The Problem


To prevent business fraud, the Arizona Corporation Commission now requires all DIY filers and generic online websites to verify their identities by uploading a driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued ID to the state’s online portal. This causes frustrating delays, technical errors, and privacy concerns.

✓  The KEYTLaw Solution


We have a legally verified ACC law firm account. When you hire us to form your LLC, you do not have to submit your personal ID to the state. We bypass the verification queue completely, protecting your privacy and ensuring your LLC is approved within 24 hours.

Contents of Our 3 LLC Formation Packages


Bronze
$500
1Fast Arizona LLC Formation:
We prepare and file your Articles of Organization with the Arizona Corporation Commission the same day you pay us, or the next business day if payment is received late in the day.
2Official LLC Formation Documents:
Same day your LLC is formed we email you PDF copies of your approved Articles of Organization bearing the Arizona Corporation Commission’s official filing stamp and the Commission’s approval letter confirming your LLC’s formation.
3Custom LLC Operating Agreement — Protect Your Business & Prevent Disputes:
We prepare a comprehensive, custom Operating Agreement that establishes your LLC’s ownership, management, and operating rules. View the table of contents of our husband and wife and single-member LLC Operating Agreement and our multi-member LLC Operating Agreement. It covers management authority, voting rights, distributions, transfers of membership interests, resolving member disputes and specifies whether a married member owns his or her membership interest as separate or community property. All members sign electronically using DocuSign, and each receives an email that contains a PDF copy of the fully signed agreement.
4Spousal Disclaimer to Protect Separate Property:
If a married LLC member wants to own his or her LLC membership interest as separate property, we prepare a Spousal Disclaimer for the member’s spouse to sign, confirming that the spouse disclaims any community property interest in the LLC membership interest.
5Arizona Statutory Agent Service – First Year Included:
Arizona law requires every Arizona LLC to maintain a statutory agent to receive legal documents and official notices. KEYTLaw serves as your LLC’s statutory agent for the first year at no additional charge. After the first year, the service is just $99 per year.
6No Newspaper Publication Required — Save Time & Money:
Because our statutory agent address is in Maricopa County, your LLC is legally exempt from Arizona’s expensive and time-consuming newspaper publication requirement.
7No Government-Issued ID Required to Form Your LLC:
The Arizona Corporation Commission now requires people who use its online filing system to verify their identities with government-issued identification. When you hire KEYTLaw to form your Arizona LLC, we handle the filing through our verified account, so you don’t need to submit your driver’s license, passport, or other identification to the ACC. Read the ACC’s new identity-verification requirements.
8Free IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN) Instructions:
We email you step-by-step instructions explaining how to obtain your LLC’s federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) directly from the IRS at no charge. An EIN is commonly needed to open an LLC bank account, hire employees, and handle federal tax matters. Our instructions help you obtain your EIN without paying an unnecessary third-party service fee.
9LLC Bank Account Setup Instructions:
We email you step-by-step instructions explaining how to open a bank account in your LLC’s name using its approved Articles of Organization and Employer Identification Number (EIN).
10Understand the 4 Ways Your LLC Can Be Taxed:
We email you an easy-to-understand explanation of the four federal income tax classifications available to LLCs: sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, and C corporation. Choosing the right tax classification can have a significant impact on your taxes. Our explanation helps you understand your options so you can discuss the best choice with your CPA or tax advisor.
11Free Attorney Q&A Before & After Your LLC Is Formed:
Have questions about forming or operating your Arizona LLC? Get answers directly from an experienced Arizona LLC attorney, not a call center or customer service representative. We answer your LLC formation questions before and after we form your company at no additional charge.
Silver (Most Popular)
$900
Silver Buyers Get Everything in the Bronze Package, plus:
12We Obtain Your LLC’s Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS:
We arrange for you to sign IRS Form SS-4 electronically, and we then obtain your LLC’s federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. We will email you the LLC’s EIN.
Only people who buy our Silver or Gold LLC get the following 6 items:
13Professional LLC Record Book — Organized & Mailed to You:
We print your LLC’s important legal documents, organize them behind labeled tabs in a professional 3-ring LLC record book, and mail it to you. Your record book keeps your Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement, EIN confirmation, membership certificates, and other important documents organized and easy to find whenever you, your banker, CPA, or attorney need them.
14Action by Unanimous Consent of the LLC Members:
We prepare a written consent for all LLC members to sign that formally approves the LLC’s Operating Agreement, appoints its managers, authorizes opening LLC bank accounts, and approves other important organizational actions without requiring a meeting. This document creates a permanent written record of the members’ decisions and helps establish proper business records from the start.
15LLC Membership Certificates — Written Proof of Ownership:
We prepare a personalized membership certificate for each LLC member that identifies the member and documents his or her percentage ownership of the company. These certificates provide written evidence of ownership that may be useful when dealing with banks, lenders, title companies, and other third parties. See a sample of our Arizona LLC Membership Certificate.
16Free Access to Our 170-Page Arizona LLC Operations Manual:
Forming your LLC is just the beginning. We give you online access to our comprehensive 170-page manual, which answers the most common questions our clients ask after forming their LLCs.

Gold Confidential LLC
$1,400
Gold Buyers Get Everything in the Bronze & Silver Packages, plus:
19The trust owns the LLC.
The trust does not get an Employer ID Number (EIN). If the LLC is owned by one person or by a husband and wife as community property the trust does not file a tax return or pay any federal or state income taxes. All of the LLC’s income and deductions are reported on the member(s)’ tax returns.
20Keep Your Name & Home Address Off Public LLC Records:
Protect your personal privacy. When your trust owns your LLC and the proper ownership and management structure is used, we can list your trust as the LLC member instead of you personally and use our office address instead of your home address on the Arizona Corporation Commission’s public records. This helps keep your personal information out of public LLC filings and makes it harder for strangers to find the name and address of the owner of the LLC.
Only people who buy our Gold LLC get the following 4 items:
21A Revocable Living Trust:
We prepare a custom revocable living trust to own your LLC. You (and your spouse if you are married) maintain total control as trustees and beneficiaries during your lifetime. When you pass, your business transfers smoothly to your designated heirs, completely bypassing the time, expense, and public record of probate court.
22Certification of Trust — Protect Your Privacy:
We prepare a Certification of Trust you can give to banks, financial institutions, and other third parties that need to verify your trust’s existence and the trustee’s authority. Instead of disclosing your entire confidential trust agreement, the Certification provides the essential information third parties need without revealing your beneficiaries, inheritance instructions, or other private trust provisions.
2322-Page Trust Funding Guide — Help Your Family Avoid Probate:
Creating a living trust is only the first step. Assets generally must be properly transferred into your trust to avoid probate. We give you our comprehensive 22-page guide, Funding Your Trust from A to Z, which explains how to transfer 13 different types of assets into your trust. This practical guide helps you avoid costly trust-funding mistakes that could force your loved ones into probate despite having a living trust.

We’ll form your LLC today, or tomorrow morning if you hire us too late in the day.

Why a lawyer?

Filing the Paperwork Is the Easy Part

Click to open ▾

Anyone can file Articles of Organization. The hard part — the part that decides whether your LLC actually protects your home, your savings and your rental property — is the legal structure behind the filing. Arizona has its own LLC statutes, its own default rules and its own community property law. A mistake made on formation day is exactly what a plaintiff’s lawyer looks for years later when trying to pierce your LLC’s veil and reach your personal assets.


We don’t just file paperwork. We build the legal structure.


The 90/10 Trap Most LLC Owners Never See Coming


You put in 90% of the money. Your partner puts in 10%. Without a signed Operating Agreement, Arizona’s default rules split the profits 50/50. Under A.R.S. § 29-3404(A) and A.R.S. § 29-3102(12), profits, losses and distributions are allocated in equal shares among the members unless a written agreement says otherwise — no matter who contributed what. You can even be taxed on profits you never received.


That is why every one of our LLC plans includes a custom Operating Agreement drafted for Arizona law. Read 19 Ways Members Can Be Harmed if Their Multi-Member LLC Lacks an Operating Agreement and No AZ LLC Operating Agreement: a Multi-Member LLC Nightmare.

The Confidential LLC

Our Gold LLC Keeps Your Name & Address off the Public Records

Click to open ▾

Privacy Today, No Probate Tomorrow


Arizona LLC law requires the name and address of an LLC owner to be displayed on the public records of the Arizona Corporation Commission. With our Gold LLC formation package, we prepare a revocable living trust that owns your LLC. The trust’s name — not yours — appears on the state’s records, and the LLC’s address is our address, not your home.


The same trust says who inherits your LLC and any other assets you put in it, so your family avoids an expensive, time-consuming, public Superior Court probate. And if you later want a complete estate plan, Gold LLC clients get a $1,000 discount when they hire us within 120 days of buying the Gold package.
