From Kansas to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form 40
It names us as your New Hampshire registered agent, with your Kansas name and formation date. If New Hampshire wants the Kansas certificate, it is ordered first. Once New Hampshire approves it, the Kansas company can do business there.

Staying in good standing in Kansas and New Hampshire

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Kansas files Form FLLC-1 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Kansas

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

Common questions: Kansas to New Hampshire

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and New Hampshire's report ($100).

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

A Kansas company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire corporation instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Kansas's Business Entity Information Report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Kansas companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal of a For-Profit Foreign Corporation; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
