Nevada LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

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

From Nevada to Kansas, step by step

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your Nevada name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Nevada first, so the Kansas filing can go in right away. Once Kansas approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.

Will your Nevada name work for Kansas?

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

Your Kansas agent and the Nevada one

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

Staying in good standing in Nevada and Kansas

Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Kansas

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

The other way: Kansas into Nevada

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees; no Kansas certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Nevada to Kansas

Does my Nevada company need to register in Kansas?

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

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Nevada.

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report ($350) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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