Arizona Certified Copies for Foreign Qualification |
A Corporation or LLC which is registered in one state and wants to do business in another state must first qualify as a "Foreign Corporation"
or a "Foreign LLC" in the state in which it wants to do business.
For example, a Corporation or LLC that is registered in Arizona wants to do business in California.
The Arizona Corporation or LLC must qualify as a California Foreign Corporation or LLC.
Some states require a Certified Copy of the formation documents,
called Articles of Incorporation for a Corporation or Articles of Organization for an LLC, from the Foreign Corporation's home state.
