From Kansas to Idaho, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your Kansas name and formation date. If Idaho wants the Kansas certificate, it is ordered first. Once Idaho approves it, the Kansas company can do business there.

Your Kansas name and Idaho's rules

If another Idaho company uses the Kansas name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Idaho's records for Kansas's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Idaho and Kansas

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Kansas

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

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Idaho

An LLC formed in Kansas files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into Kansas

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Idaho certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Kansas to Idaho

Does my Kansas company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Kansas's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Kansas name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Kansas name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Kansas's Business Entity Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Kansas companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
