How Virginia companies register with Kansas

We prepare and file Form FA
It names us as your Kansas resident agent, with your Virginia name and formation date. No Virginia paperwork holds up the Kansas filing. After approval, your Virginia LLC is registered with Kansas.

Will your Virginia name work for Kansas?

Your Kansas agent and the Virginia one

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

Common questions: Virginia to Kansas

Does my Virginia company need to register in Kansas?

How much does the Kansas registration cost?

$314 at checkout, with nothing to pay Virginia.

Do I need Virginia's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Virginia and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Virginia's report ($50) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

A Virginia company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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