How Kansas companies register with New York

We prepare and file Form DOS-1335-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Kansas name and formation date. If New York wants the Kansas certificate, it is ordered first. Once New York approves it, the Kansas company can do business there.

Your Kansas name and New York's rules

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

Agents: New York and Kansas

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

Yearly filings: New York and Kansas

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to New York

An LLC formed in Kansas files Form DOS-1361-f-a with New York ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New York into Kansas

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

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York corporation instead?
