Foreign registration · Form FA

Oregon Corporation Foreign Registration in Kansas

A corporation formed in Oregon that wants to do business in Kansas files Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas asks nothing of Oregon here, not even the Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Oregon records, then serve as your resident agent there for year one.

From Oregon to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Oregon name work for Kansas?

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

Your Kansas agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and Oregon

Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Kansas

An LLC formed in Oregon files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Kansas's Information Report ($5). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Kansas company in Oregon

A corporation formed in Kansas that registers with Oregon files Form 50 with $275 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Oregon to Kansas

Does my Oregon company need to register in Kansas?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oregon.

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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