New Hampshire LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

Kansas registers an LLC from New Hampshire as a foreign LLC on Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas asks nothing of New Hampshire here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division using your New Hampshire records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

From New Hampshire to Kansas, step by step

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

Your New Hampshire name and Kansas's rules

We search Kansas's records for New Hampshire's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Kansas agent and the New Hampshire one

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

Staying in good standing in New Hampshire and Kansas

New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($102); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Hampshire to Kansas

A corporation formed in New Hampshire files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Kansas into New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with New Hampshire files Form FLLC-1 with $102 in state fees; no Kansas certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: New Hampshire to Kansas

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once a New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire.

Do I need New Hampshire's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), New Hampshire's report ($102) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

A New Hampshire company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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