News Alert:  Warning notice to our customers--Very Important Please Read! 

There are  organizations who are sending out official-looking documents to advertise their services to Arizona businesses. These customer solicitations are in no way affiliated with Arizona Corporation Commission.  These mailings generally offer a service and list a fee.  Please be advised that you are not required to file with these organizations, nor are you required to pay the fee.  These documents look very similar to Corporation Commission filing documents and often include the file number assigned to the business by the Corporation Commission.
 
If you believe you are a victim of fraud or if you have received this document please contact the Arizona Attorney General's Office in Phoenix at (602) -542-5763, in Tucson at (520) 628-6504, or outside the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas at 1 (800)-352-8431.

Additionally, you can file a complaint online by going to the Arizona Attorney General's website at www.azag.gov.   Once there, click on "Select Topic" then click on "Consumer Complaints" and finally select "File a Complaint Online".
