Alaska Corporation Foreign Registration in Kansas

Kansas registers a corporation from Alaska as a foreign corporation on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas asks nothing of Alaska here, not even the Certificate of Compliance. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division using your Alaska records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

From Alaska to Kansas, step by step

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your Alaska name and formation date. No Alaska paperwork holds up the Kansas filing. Once Kansas approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Your Alaska name and Kansas's rules

We check your exact Alaska name against Kansas's records before filing.

Your Kansas agent and the Alaska one

Kansas calls it a resident agent; Alaska says registered agent. Kansas papers come to us; Alaska's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Kansas and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Kansas

An LLC formed in Alaska files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Kansas's Information Report ($5). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Kansas into Alaska

A corporation formed in Kansas that registers with Alaska files Form 08-414 with $350 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Alaska owners ask about Kansas

Does my Alaska company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Kansas registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Kansas calls it registration for Alaska corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Alaska.

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years).

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Kansas for year one.

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Kansas's Business Entity Information Report, and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business; until then, Kansas's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
