New Mexico LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

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

It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date. No New Mexico paperwork holds up the Kansas filing. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Kansas.

Will your New Mexico name work for Kansas?

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

Common questions: New Mexico to Kansas

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once a New Mexico 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 Mexico.

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

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), no New Mexico yearly report and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Kansas's Information Report ($90), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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