Foreign registration · Form FA

Idaho Corporation Foreign Registration in Kansas

Kansas registers a corporation from Idaho as a foreign corporation on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas needs nothing from Idaho: no Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division using your Idaho records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

From Idaho to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Idaho name work for Kansas?

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

Your Kansas agent and the Idaho one

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and Idaho

Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Kansas

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

The other way: Kansas into Idaho

A corporation formed in Kansas that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Idaho to Kansas

Does my Idaho company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Idaho.

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Idaho's report (no fee) and Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years).

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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