Arizona Revised Statutes § 10-203 Incorporation

10-203. Incorporation

A. Unless a delayed effective date is specified in the articles of incorporation, incorporation occurs and the corporate existence begins when the articles of incorporation and certificate of disclosure are delivered to the commission for filing.

B. The commission's filing of the articles of incorporation and certificate of disclosure is conclusive proof that the incorporators satisfied all conditions precedent to incorporation except in a proceeding by the state to cancel or revoke the incorporation or involuntarily dissolve the corporation pursuant to chapter 14 of this title.

C. Subject to section 10-124, if the commission determines that the requirements of chapters 1 through 17 of this title for filing have not been met, the articles of incorporation and certificate of disclosure shall not be filed and the corporate existence terminates at the time the commission completes the determination. If the corporate existence is terminated pursuant to this subsection, sections 10-1405, 10-1406 and 10-1407 apply.

D. Within sixty days after the commission approves the filing, a copy of the articles of incorporation shall be published. An affidavit evidencing the publication may be filed with the commission.
