Indiana LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

To do business in Kansas, an LLC formed in Indiana registers there on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas needs nothing from Indiana: no Certificate of Existence.

From Indiana to Kansas, step by step

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

Your Indiana name and Kansas's rules

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

Your Kansas agent and the Indiana one

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

Staying in good standing in Indiana and Kansas

Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Indiana to Kansas

A corporation formed in Indiana files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

Registering a Kansas company in Indiana

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Indiana files State Form 56369 with $105 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Indiana owners ask about Kansas

Does my Indiana company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once an Indiana 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 Indiana.

Do I need Indiana's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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