Foreign registration · Form FA

Nevada Corporation Foreign Registration in Kansas

To do business in Kansas, a corporation formed in Nevada registers there on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas needs nothing from Nevada: no Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division using your Nevada records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

From Nevada to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Nevada name work for Kansas?

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

Agents: Kansas and Nevada

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and Nevada

Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year; Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Kansas

An LLC formed in Nevada files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Nevada's periodic report ($350) and Kansas's Information Report ($5). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Kansas into Nevada

A corporation formed in Kansas that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Nevada owners ask about Kansas

Does my Nevada company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Nevada.

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nevada registered agent stays, and ours covers Kansas for year one.

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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