Data Sources

Arizona uses a single live integration against the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) Business Center (arizonabusinesscenter.azcc.gov). The ACC Business Center replaced the legacy eCorp portal on 2026-01-12 and is the official register for corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and other entities formed or qualified to do business in Arizona. A single profile lookup returns the legal name, entity number, status, formation date, foreign jurisdiction (for foreign entities), physical and mailing addresses, officers and members (reported on the latest filing), and statutory agent, all in one call.
Authoritative live lookups only. There is no fast/cached path for Arizona: every request fetches current data directly from the ACC Business Center. Both onboarding and verification requests use the same authoritative live source.
No bulk dataset. The ACC does not publish an open-data extract of Arizona business entities. A paid Database Extraction Request (Form M027) is available from the ACC Records Section but is not automated or recurring, so no fast/snapshot mode is offered.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier TypeFormatExampleNotes
Arizona Entity NumberLegacy 7–10 digit numeric (e.g. 10103338) or “R + 8 digits” form (e.g. R18260883). Trade names use a “T…” prefix.R18260883Primary identifier assigned by the Arizona Corporation Commission. Both the legacy numeric and current “R…” forms are accepted.
Pass the entity number exactly as it appears in ACC records. The “R…” form is assigned by the Arizona Business Center; the legacy numeric form predates the 2026 portal relaunch. Both are accepted by the search and profile endpoints.

Quirks & Gotchas

QuirkDetails
Two entity-number formatsThe ACC issues entity numbers in two forms: a legacy 7–10 digit numeric (pre-2026 portal) and the current “R + 8 digits” form. Both are accepted as query inputs and returned in entityNumber. Do not strip the “R” prefix.
Foreign jurisdiction is includedFor entities incorporated outside Arizona and qualified to do business in the state, the foreignJurisdiction object carries the home state or country. These entities appear with Domestic vs Foreign in their legal form label.
Statutory agent is an other key personThe ACC requires every entity to maintain a statutory agent (equivalent to a registered agent). The statutory agent is returned under otherKeyPersons, not legalRepresentatives.
Officer title is free-textThe ACC stores officer title as a free-text field. Common values include President, Director, Manager, Member, Managing Member, Secretary, Treasurer, Organizer, and Partner. Titles are normalized by AI enrichment.
Status includes sub-reasonCompany status is returned as a primary label (Active, Inactive, Admin Hold, Pending Active, Pending Inactive) combined with a sub-reason where available (e.g. “Active (In Good Standing)”, “Inactive (Voluntarily Dissolved)”).
No shareholder or UBO registerArizona corporations and LLCs do not file shareholder lists with the ACC. Arizona does not maintain a public state-level beneficial ownership register.
NAICS codes are best-effortNAICS industry codes are present in the ACC record but are typically empty. Industry classification is not reliably populated for most entities.
Per-filing PDFs not publicly availableThe ACC Business Center lists filed documents (annual reports, articles of organization, statements of change) on each entity’s record, but individual filing PDFs are not available through the public unauthenticated path at this time.
Certificate of Good Standing is a paid upgradeThe Certificate of Good Standing is ordered through the ACC and carries an upstream register fee. It is a paid document separate from the free company data lookup. Expedited delivery (typically minutes) and standard delivery (2–5 business days) are both available. See the pricing page for current charges.

Mappings

Legal form is sourced directly from the entity’s record type on the ACC Business Center. The local name (e.g. “Domestic For-Profit Corporation”, “Foreign Limited Liability Company”) is returned alongside a standardized Topograph category, with an ISO 20275 ELF code where one applies. Standardization is performed by AI enrichment against the local name. Common Arizona entity types include:
ACC Record TypeStandardized
Domestic For-Profit CorporationCorporation
Foreign For-Profit CorporationCorporation
Domestic Nonprofit CorporationNonprofitOrganization
Foreign Nonprofit CorporationNonprofitOrganization
Domestic Limited Liability CompanyLimitedLiabilityCompany
Foreign Limited Liability CompanyLimitedLiabilityCompany
Domestic Limited PartnershipPartnership

The full list of Arizona legal forms with ISO 20275 mappings is available on the pricing page.

Officer Roles

The ACC stores officer titles as free-text. Topograph normalizes each title through AI enrichment, producing a standardized role label and an ISO 5009 code where one applies.

Officers, directors, managers, and members are classified as Legal Representatives. The statutory agent is returned as an Other Key Person and is not included in legalRepresentatives.

Company Status

The ACC returns a primary status label combined with a sub-reason where present. The active flag in the API response is true only for entities with the literal Active status.
