Nebraska Corporation Foreign Registration in Kansas

To do business in Kansas, a corporation formed in Nebraska registers there on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas needs nothing from Nebraska: no Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Nebraska records, then serve as your resident agent there for year one.

How Nebraska companies register with Kansas

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your Nebraska name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Nebraska first, so the Kansas filing can go in right away. Once Kansas approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Will your Nebraska name work for Kansas?

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

Your Kansas agent and the Nebraska one

Kansas calls it a resident agent; Nebraska says agent for service of process. Your current agent for service of process stays for Nebraska; ours takes Kansas's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Kansas and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Kansas

An LLC formed in Nebraska files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25) and Kansas's Information Report ($5). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Kansas into Nebraska

A corporation formed in Kansas that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Kansas

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Nebraska.

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years).

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Kansas for year one.

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Kansas's Business Entity Information Report, and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business; until then, Kansas's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
