The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is preparing to roll out a new online business filing system, Arizona Business Connect, which is scheduled to go live on January 12, 2026. The new platform will replace the Commission’s current eCorp system and is intended to modernize how businesses file and access corporate records in the state.
According to the ACC, Arizona Business Connect will offer updated technology, improved security features, and enhanced functionality designed to streamline the filing process and improve the overall customer experience for corporations and other business entities.
To complete the transition, the Commission will temporarily shut down the existing eCorp portal to transfer and verify a large volume of data before launching the new system. As a result, online filing and business searches through eCorp will be unavailable beginning at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Friday, January 2, 2026.
During this transition period, corporations will not be able to file documents or search business records online. However, the Commission says customers will still be able to submit filings using paper forms. Paper filings may be delivered in person at ACC offices in downtown Phoenix or Tucson or sent by mail or fax.
All paper documents received after the eCorp shutdown on January 2 will be assigned an effective date based on when they are received by the Commission. Those documents will not be entered into the new Arizona Business Connect system until January 12 or shortly after the portal becomes operational.
