From Wyoming to Kansas, step by step

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

Will your Wyoming name work for Kansas?

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

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

Staying in good standing in Wyoming and Kansas

Wyoming wants the Annual Report every year ($61.44); Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($5). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Wyoming to Kansas

A corporation formed in Wyoming files Form FA with Kansas ($115 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($60) and Kansas's Business Entity Information Report. See the corporation filing.

Common questions: Wyoming to Kansas

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Kansas?

Yes, once a Wyoming 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 Wyoming.

Do I need Wyoming's certificate of good standing?

No, Kansas takes Form FA without it.

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Kansas?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Wyoming's report ($61.44) and Kansas's report ($5, every two years).

What if I don't register with Kansas?

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

Does Kansas require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Kansas LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Kansas later?

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