It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your Kansas name and formation date. If Connecticut wants the Kansas certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Kansas corporation is registered with Connecticut.

Your Kansas name and Connecticut's rules

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

Your Connecticut agent and the Kansas one

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