From Kansas to Georgia, step by step

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It names us as your Georgia registered agent, with your Kansas name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Kansas first, so the Georgia filing can go in right away. After approval, your Kansas LLC is registered with Georgia.

Will your Kansas name work for Georgia?

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Your Georgia agent and the Kansas one

Georgia calls it a registered agent; Kansas says resident agent. Your current resident agent stays for Kansas; ours takes Georgia's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Georgia

Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($90); Georgia wants the Annual Registration every year ($60). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

Common questions: Kansas to Georgia

Does my Kansas company need to register in Georgia?

Yes, once a Kansas business operates there; Georgia registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does it cost to register a Kansas LLC in Georgia?

$434 at checkout, with nothing to pay Kansas.

Do I need Kansas's certificate of good standing?

No, Georgia takes Form CD 241 without it.

How long does the Georgia registration take?

Georgia's online processing takes about 7 business days; nothing comes from Kansas first. Paid expedite: 2-business-day $120, same-day $275.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Georgia?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report ($90, every two years) and Georgia's report ($60).

What if I don't register with Georgia?

A Kansas company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Georgia for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Kansas's Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Kansas companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
