Every state has their own unique set of laws and procedures when it comes to domesticating a foreign subpoena and Arizona is no exception.  The following are a few important points:

1. Make sure you know who the entity’s statutory agent is and where they are located.  You should be able to find this by searching the Arizona Corporation Commission’s website.
2. Ensure that you are complying with Arizona’s Interstate Depositions and Discovery rules.
3. If you are asking for medical records or anonymous author information, there are special rules/laws surrounding that you will need to research.
4. If you are commanding attendance at a deposition or hearing be sure you are doing it at a location consistent with the rules.
5. Don’t forget your witness fees!
6. You will have to arrange to have the subpoena served, e.g. through a process server.
