Kansas LLC Foreign Registration in Wyoming

To do business in Wyoming, an LLC formed in Kansas registers there on a registration (no form number), with $150 in state fees. Wyoming also wants Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Division using your Kansas records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Kansas to Wyoming, step by step

Order the Kansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) is ordered from Kansas separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. Wyoming counts 60 days from the day Kansas issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Kansas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Kansas certificate comes first; then the Wyoming filing goes in. Once Wyoming approves it, the Kansas company can do business there.

Your Wyoming agent and the Kansas one

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

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Kansas

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

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Wyoming

A corporation formed in Kansas files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same). After that come Kansas's Business Entity Information Report and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Wyoming into Kansas

An LLC formed in Wyoming that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Wyoming certificate is needed. See that filing.

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

$349 at checkout plus $7.50 to Kansas for the Certificate of Good Standing, $356.50 in all (checkout is $150 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Kansas's certificate of good standing?

How long does the Wyoming registration take?

Wyoming's standard processing takes up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt, once Kansas's certificate is in hand.

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

What if I don't register with Wyoming?

Wyoming can charge a Kansas company a penalty of $5,000.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming LLC instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44), and the original keeps Kansas's Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

Kansas companies leave by filing a Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Wyoming's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.
