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, principal physical address, officers and members (reported on the latest filing), statutory agent, and any former legal names the entity has held, 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 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 Type	Format	Example	Notes
Arizona Entity Number	Legacy 7–10 digit numeric (e.g. `10103338`) or “R + 8 digits” form (e.g. `R18260883`). Trade names use a “T…” prefix.	`R18260883`	Primary 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.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
`entityNumber`	Legacy numeric or “R + 8 digits”	`R18260883`	All entities

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Name	2–250 chars	`"Sonoran"`	Contains (case-insensitive)	Multiple results
By Entity Number	As issued	`R18260883`	Exact	Single match (matchType: id)

Contains search. Name search finds results that contain the query string anywhere in the legal name (case-insensitive). The result set is capped. Use a longer query string to narrow results.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Two entity-number formats	The 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 entities are labelled in the legal form	Entities incorporated outside Arizona and qualified to do business in the state carry `Foreign` in their legal form label (`Domestic` for Arizona entities). The home state or country is not returned.
Statutory agent is an other key person	The 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-text	The 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-reason	Company 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 register	Arizona corporations and LLCs do not file shareholder lists with the ACC. Arizona does not maintain a public state-level beneficial ownership register.
Previous names are absent, not empty	`legacyLegalNames` is omitted from the response when an entity has never been renamed, rather than returned as `[]`. Renames are uncommon, so most Arizona entities carry no former names at all. The field lists former names only — the current legal name is never repeated inside it.
Former names are not searchable	Search matches on the entity’s current name only. An entity that has been renamed cannot be found by a former name, because Arizona is a live-register integration and the ACC’s own search behaves this way. Once you have the entity, its former names are returned on the profile.
Per-filing PDFs not publicly available	The 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 upgrade	The 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. It is always ordered on the expedited track and is typically delivered within minutes. See the pricing page for current charges.

Mappings

Legal Forms

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. Standardization is performed by AI enrichment against the local name. Common Arizona entity types include:

Common Arizona entity types (not exhaustive)

ACC Record Type	Standardized
Domestic For-Profit Corporation	Corporation
Foreign For-Profit Corporation	Corporation
Domestic Nonprofit Corporation	NonprofitOrganization
Foreign Nonprofit Corporation	NonprofitOrganization
Domestic Limited Liability Company	LimitedLiabilityCompany
Foreign Limited Liability Company	LimitedLiabilityCompany
Domestic Limited Partnership	Partnership
Foreign Limited Partnership	Partnership
Domestic General Partnership	Partnership
Domestic Professional Corporation	Corporation
Domestic Professional Limited Liability Company	LimitedLiabilityCompany

Officer Roles

The ACC stores officer titles as free-text. Topograph normalizes each title through AI enrichment, producing a standardized role label. The table shows typical results.

Common ACC Title	Standardized	Notes
President	President	Corporation statutory officer
Vice President	Vice President
Secretary	Secretary
Treasurer	Treasurer
Director	Director
Manager	Manager	LLC manager-managed structure
Member	(AI-inferred)	LLC member-managed structure
Managing Member	(AI-inferred)	LLC managing-member variant
Organizer	(AI-inferred)	LLC / corporation organizer at formation
General Partner	General Partner	Limited partnerships
Partner	Partner	General partnerships

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.

ACC Status Label	Active flag	Notes
Active	`true`	Entity is in good standing
Inactive	`false`	Includes voluntarily dissolved, expired entities
Admin Hold	`false`	Administrative hold placed by the ACC
Pending Active	`false`	Filing submitted, ACC processing not yet complete
Pending Inactive	`false`	Dissolution or withdrawal pending ACC processing

Company Profile — entity with former names

An entity that has been renamed carries its previous legal names in legacyLegalNames, newest first. This example is a real Arizona entity that filed Articles of Amendment on 2026-07-23 to change its name.

curl -X POST "https://api.topograph.co/v2/company" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"countryCode": "US-AZ", "id": "23906030", "dataPoints": ["company"]}'

{
  "company": {
    "id": "23906030",
    "countryCode": "US-AZ",
    "identifiers": {
      "entityNumber": "23906030",
      "idBusiness": "aa5b7fd9-2877-4102-8f24-93f46c032f8e"
    },
    "legalName": "MEDIEVAL MMA LLC",
    "legacyLegalNames": ["IRONBLADE MMA LLC"],
    "status": {
      "localName": "Active (In Good Standing)",
      "active": true
    },
    "registrationDate": "2025-11-06",
    "legalForm": {
      "localName": "Domestic Limited Liability Company"
    },
    "legalAddress": {
      "addressLine1": "1837 S. Mesa Dr C100",
      "city": "MESA",
      "region": "AZ",
      "postalCode": "85210",
      "countryCode": "US"
    }
  }
}

legacyLegalNames is omitted rather than returned as an empty array when an entity has never been renamed — which is the common case. Treat its absence as “no former names on record”, not as a failed lookup.
