There is no fee associated with the business registration for non-profits or businesses with an existing specialty license. All Chandler-based non-profits are required to provide a copy of their current (dated 1994 or later) letter from the IRS confirming the organization's non-profit status under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. According to the Legal Arizona Workers Act (A.R.S. 41-1080), specific documentation is required to issue a registration if your business ownership type is identified as an Individual (Sole Proprietorship) or General Partnership. Before your registration can be approved, you must provide a copy of a document indicating your presence in the United States is authorized under federal law (if applying as a General Partnership, all partners must provide the required documentation).
