How Georgia companies register with Kansas

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

Will your Georgia name work for Kansas?

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

Agents: Kansas and Georgia

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

Common questions: Georgia to Kansas

Does my Georgia company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once a Georgia 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 Georgia.

Do I need Georgia's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Georgia and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Georgia's report ($60) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

A Georgia company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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