How Arizona companies register with Kansas

We prepare and file Form FA
It lists us as your Kansas resident agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date. No Arizona paperwork holds up the Kansas filing. Once Kansas approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Your Arizona name and Kansas's rules

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

Your Kansas agent and the Arizona one

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and Arizona

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Kansas

A corporation formed in Arizona files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

Registering a Kansas company in Arizona

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Arizona files Form L025 with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Kansas

Does my Arizona company need to register in Kansas?

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

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Arizona.

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Kansas for year one.

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Kansas's Information Report ($90), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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