How Kansas companies register with Connecticut

Order the Kansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) is ordered from Kansas separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Connecticut accepts it within 90 days of Kansas's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your Kansas name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Kansas certificate comes first; then the Connecticut filing goes in. After approval, your Kansas LLC is registered with Connecticut.

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report ($90, every two years) and Connecticut's report ($80).

What if I don't register with Connecticut?

Does Connecticut require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Connecticut for year one.

Can I form a new Connecticut LLC instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80), and the original keeps Kansas's Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Connecticut later?

Kansas companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (no state fee); until then, Connecticut's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
