Oklahoma LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

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

From Oklahoma to Kansas, step by step

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

Your Oklahoma name and Kansas's rules

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

Your Kansas agent and the Oklahoma one

Kansas calls it a resident agent; Oklahoma says registered agent. Kansas papers come to us; Oklahoma's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Kansas and Oklahoma

Oklahoma wants the Annual Certificate every year ($26); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Kansas

A corporation formed in Oklahoma files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Kansas into Oklahoma

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Oklahoma files Form 0081 with $312 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Kansas

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Kansas?

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

How much does it cost to register an Oklahoma LLC in Kansas?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oklahoma.

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Oklahoma's report ($26) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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