Idaho LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

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

How Idaho companies register with Kansas

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your Idaho name and formation date. No Idaho paperwork holds up the Kansas filing. After approval, your Idaho LLC is registered with Kansas.

Will your Idaho name work for Kansas?

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

Agents: Kansas and Idaho

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

Staying in good standing in Idaho and Kansas

Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Kansas

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

The other way: Kansas into Idaho

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Idaho owners ask about Kansas

Does my Idaho company need to register in Kansas?

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

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

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Idaho.

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Kansas?

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

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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