How New Jersey companies register with Kansas

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your New Jersey name and formation date. Nothing has to come from New Jersey first, so the Kansas filing can go in right away. After approval, your New Jersey LLC is registered with Kansas.

Your New Jersey name and Kansas's rules

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

Your Kansas agent and the New Jersey one

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

Yearly filings: Kansas and New Jersey

New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: New Jersey to Kansas

Does my New Jersey company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once a New Jersey 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 Jersey.

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

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for New Jersey and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), New Jersey's report ($75) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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