Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

Kansas registers an LLC from Alaska as a foreign LLC on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas needs nothing from Alaska: no Certificate of Compliance. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Alaska records, then serve as your resident agent there for year one.

How Alaska companies register with Kansas

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

Your Alaska name and Kansas's rules

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

Agents: Kansas and Alaska

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Kansas

A corporation formed in Alaska files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

Questions Alaska owners ask about Kansas

Does my Alaska company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Kansas law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register an Alaska LLC in Kansas?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Alaska.

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Kansas's Information Report ($90), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business ($30); until then, Kansas's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
