How Kansas companies register with Vermont

Order the Kansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) is ordered from Kansas separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont counts 30 days from the day Kansas issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Kansas name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Kansas certificate comes first; then the Vermont filing goes in. After approval, your Kansas corporation is registered with Vermont.

Your Vermont agent and the Kansas one

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

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Vermont

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; Vermont wants the Annual Report every year ($250). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Vermont

An LLC formed in Kansas files its own registration with Vermont ($155 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Vermont's Annual Report ($170). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Vermont into Kansas

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

Common questions: Kansas to Vermont

Does my Kansas company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $7.50 to Kansas for the Certificate of Good Standing, $361.50 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Kansas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants it ($7.50), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day, once Kansas's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and Vermont's report ($250).

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Kansas's Business Entity Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Kansas companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
