Georgia Corporation Foreign Registration in Kansas

Kansas registers a corporation from Georgia as a foreign corporation on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas asks nothing of Georgia here, not even the Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Georgia records, then serve as your resident agent there for year one.

From Georgia to Kansas, step by step

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your Georgia name and formation date. No Georgia paperwork holds up the Kansas filing. After approval, your Georgia corporation is registered with Kansas.

Will your Georgia name work for Kansas?

We search Kansas's records for Georgia's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Kansas agent and the Georgia one

Kansas calls it a resident agent; Georgia says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Georgia; ours takes Kansas's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Georgia and Kansas

Georgia wants the Annual Registration every year ($60); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Georgia to Kansas

An LLC formed in Georgia files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Georgia's Annual Registration ($60) and Kansas's Information Report ($5). See the LLC filing.

Common questions: Georgia to Kansas

Does my Georgia company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Georgia corporation in Kansas?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Georgia.

Do I need Georgia's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Georgia and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Georgia's report ($60) and Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years).

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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