How New Hampshire companies register with Kansas

We prepare and file Form FA
It lists us as your Kansas resident agent, next to your New Hampshire name and formation date. Nothing has to come from New Hampshire first, so the Kansas filing can go in right away. After approval, your New Hampshire corporation is registered with Kansas.

Will your New Hampshire name work for Kansas?

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

Your Kansas agent and the New Hampshire one

Kansas calls it a resident agent; New Hampshire says registered agent. Kansas papers come to us; New Hampshire's agent is unchanged.

New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

Common questions: New Hampshire to Kansas

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay New Hampshire.

Do I need New Hampshire's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), New Hampshire's report ($100) and Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years).

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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