LLC Review Desk's 2026 picks for foreign registration services in Arizona, favorite first, are Mainstay Filing ($199), Arizona Registered Agent.co ($199) and AZ Registered Agent.org ($199). Mainstay Filing is our favorite, because $199 gets the Arizona registration filed, year one as statutory agent costs nothing, and after that it's $149 a year.

Our favorite is Mainstay Filing, because it's $199 beyond the state fee in any state, and the first statutory agent year is included.

Once year one is over, you pay $149 a year for the agent, whichever state you picked.

Over three years it costs $100 more than Arizona Registered Agent.co, and for us the extra things it handles are worth that.

Arizona Registered Agent.co$199$99$99$397Included

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. On top of every row, Arizona charges a $150 registration fee, which isn't in these totals.

How the order came together

Two things count most to us, three-year cost and filings in the price, at 29% each. Renewal price, state fit and up-front totals share 42%, and Arizona came down to filings in the price.

Registering in a second state means working with two states, so one company at one price for both won the coverage score over Arizona Registered Agent.co.
