Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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