PHOENIX,
AZ – In its ongoing effort to make it
easier to do business in Arizona, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is
launching eCorp, a site that will provide a new user experience for the
Corporations Division database, known as STARPAS. The new eCorp website is
easier to navigate, and will make information more readily available to the
public. The updated site can be found at: http://eCorp.azcc.gov
“This
is one more step in our important ongoing work to make the Corporation
Commission's processes more user friendly,” said Chairman Susan Bitter
Smith.
New features
include:
· A simplified
search layout with a single search screen instead of multiple ones;
· Access to
forms and online filing through task-based categories;
· A Services
page for quick access to available services such as online Certificates of Good
Standing, annual report email reminders, and records requests;
· Compatibility
with multiple browsers and devices (PC/tablet).
With eCorp, the Commission’s database is now accessible
from a variety of browsers, such as Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, Safari and
Chrome. In addition, the site scales the layout to function optimally on the
device used, thereby facilitating navigation on mobile or tablet devices.

All
corporations and LLCs doing business in Arizona must file their business entity
documents with the Corporation Commission. There are approximately 198,145
corporations and 643,498 LLCs registered to do business in our state. Last year,
the Commission received 373,067 business filings.
Other
advancements the Commission has made in the last year to provide greater public
interactivity are: public comment and public “Request to Speak” features, live
video streaming from the Commission’s Tucson hearing room (streaming video from
the Phoenix offices had previously been available), online filing of complaints
for utility consumers and for Securities matters, tutorial videos, and an
overhaul of the Commission’s website.
