Overview
Certification
Process for Businesses
 |
The
company requests that a sponsorship letter from the Tribal Gaming
Office (TGO) be sent to the Arizona Department of Gaming.
The letter must contain the following information:
Business name, address, and telephone number
Name of contact person and telephone number
Type of goods or services the business will provide |
|
|
Upon
receipt of the sponsorship letter, the Department contacts the
business and confirms the information in the letter. The
Department sends the application form packet, or the company can
download the applicable forms on the Department's website. |
|
|
Application forms are completed by the applicant based upon the
structure of the business (i.e., corporation, limited liability
company, partnership, or sole proprietorship) and the type of
goods or services to be provided to the gaming facility. |
|
|
The
completed application forms and the appropriate application fee
are submitted to the Department. The compact requires an applicant
seeking certification to pay all of the costs of the background
investigation prior to receiving State Certification. The
Department will send monthly statements of any costs over the
amount of the application fee during the investigation. |
|
|
All
applicants undergo an intensive background investigation, which
may require on-site visits by Department investigators, review of
financial records, criminal history inquiries from appropriate
jurisdictions, and review of tax returns. |
Renewal of State Certification
|
|
The application fees for
renewal of
State Certification of a business range from $500 to $1,000
depending on the type of business and the services or goods
provided. The State will send a Renewal application package to
certified vendors approximately two months prior to certification
expiration. Vendors choosing not to be considered for Certification
Renewal should contact the Department of Gaming as soon as possible
to preclude any costs. |
|
|
All investigative costs for Renewal of State Certification
are borne solely by the applicant. All such costs must be paid in full to the Department
prior to the issuance of renewal of State Certification.
