Operative words

Due to the current COVID-19 concerns, and in an effort to keep the public and staff as safe as possible, the Arizona Corporation Commission has decided to temporarily close our in-person window counter services in Phoenix and Tucson as follows. In addition, all meetings with Commission employees are by appointment only. Business Filings: Effective 3/26/2020 our Corporate Filings and Records counters to the public will be temporarily closed. Customers will be able to complete most business filings online and you will be able to fax or mail filings, as usual. We are also accepting drop-off filings at the Corporations Division if you are paying by check ONLY. Docket Control filings: Effective 3/25/2020 Docket Control is temporarily closed to the public. All docket filings may be submitted by efiling at efiling.azcc.gov or by mail.

Enforcement

Commission's administrative control of its offices (Ariz. Const. art. XV, sec. 6)

Notes

Arizona's corporate filing office (the Commission, not the Secretary of State) closed its Phoenix and Tucson counters in the last week of March 2020, the same week the Maricopa County Recorder closed its counters (AGY-054).
