Each corporation has its own due date. You can find the due date of your corporation under its record on the website www.ecorp.azcc.gov

If your corporation couldn’t file the annual report and certificate of disclosure on or before the due date, you need to file an annual report extension request on or before the due date.

If the Annual Report Extension Request is approved for your corporation, you will have an additional 6 months in which to submit its Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure. The 6 months are counted from the original due date.

New due date: You would receive a letter approving the extension of time for that reporting year. The extension is for 6 months, and the new due date will be determined by counting 6 months from the original due date. Remember, the new due date will be effective only for the reporting year for which the extension was granted.
