Nebraska LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

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

From Nebraska to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Nebraska name work for Kansas?

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

Agents: Kansas and Nebraska

Kansas calls it a resident agent; Nebraska says agent for service of process. Your current agent for service of process stays for Nebraska; ours takes Kansas's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Kansas and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Kansas

A corporation formed in Nebraska files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Kansas into Nebraska

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Kansas

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Kansas?

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

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

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Nebraska.

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($25, every two years) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Kansas for year one.

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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