From New York to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your New York name work for Kansas?

We search Kansas's records for New York's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Kansas agent and the New York one

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and New York

New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New York to Kansas

An LLC formed in New York files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come New York's Biennial Statement ($9) and Kansas's Information Report ($5). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Kansas company in New York

Common questions: New York to Kansas

Does my New York company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

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

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

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for New York and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years).

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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