Kansas Corporation Foreign Registration in Nevada

To do business in Nevada, a corporation formed in Kansas registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada may ask for Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50). We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division from your Kansas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Kansas to Nevada, step by step

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

Your Kansas name and Nevada's rules

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Nevada and Kansas

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

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Nevada

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Nevada

An LLC formed in Kansas files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

Questions Kansas owners ask about Nevada

Does my Kansas company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Nevada calls it qualification for Kansas corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge, plus time for Kansas's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Nevada for year one.

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent, and the original keeps Kansas's Business Entity Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

Kansas companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
