Foreign registration · Form FA

Oregon LLC Foreign Registration in Kansas

An LLC formed in Oregon that wants to do business in Kansas files Form FA, with $115 in state fees. Kansas asks nothing of Oregon here, not even the Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division using your Oregon records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

From Oregon to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Oregon name work for Kansas?

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

Agents: Kansas and Oregon

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

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Kansas

Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Kansas

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

The other way: Kansas into Oregon

An LLC formed in Kansas that registers with Oregon files Form 110 with $275 in state fees; no Kansas certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Oregon to Kansas

Does my Oregon company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once an Oregon 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 Oregon.

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Oregon's report ($100) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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