Louisiana LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

Kansas registers an LLC from Louisiana as a foreign LLC on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas needs nothing from Louisiana: no Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Louisiana records, then serve as your resident agent there for year one.

From Louisiana to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Louisiana name work for Kansas?

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

Agents: Kansas and Louisiana

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and Louisiana

Louisiana wants the Annual Report every year ($40); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to Kansas

A corporation formed in Louisiana files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($30) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Kansas into Louisiana

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Louisiana files Form 972 with $190 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Louisiana to Kansas

Does my Louisiana company need to register in Kansas?

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

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

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Louisiana.

Do I need Louisiana's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Louisiana and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Louisiana's report ($40) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

A Louisiana company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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