Do you provide advice on any Arizona-specific law? Do you visit the AZ office? Do you ever plan to be in court in AZ? Is the HQ technically in AZ?

If the answer to all 4 is no, I wouldn't bother.

I’ll definitely be going to the office and likely advised to ask on AZ law questions. But no to (3) and (4)

Similar situation here (I live in Utah and it’s a California-based company). I’m not bothering with the CA bar.

I wouldn’t bother. If you need Arizona specific questions just use local counsel.
