How Kansas companies register with Wyoming

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Kansas name and formation date. If Wyoming wants the Kansas certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Kansas corporation is registered with Wyoming.

Your Kansas name and Wyoming's rules

We check your exact Kansas name against Wyoming's records before filing.

Your Wyoming agent and the Kansas one

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

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Kansas

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; Wyoming wants the Annual Report every year ($60). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Kansas files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Wyoming company in Kansas

Common questions: Kansas to Wyoming

Does my Kansas company need to register in Wyoming?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Wyoming issues one to Kansas corporations once the filing is approved.

How much does it cost to register a Kansas corporation in Wyoming?

$349 at checkout; Wyoming may also want Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Wyoming registration take?

Wyoming's standard processing takes up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt, plus time for Kansas's certificate if Wyoming asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Wyoming?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and Wyoming's report ($60).

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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