How to register a foreign LLC in Kansas

The five steps

  2. Line up a resident agent. It needs a street address in Kansas. The services below include one for the first year.
  3. Complete Form FA, Application for Registration, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business. Download it from the Kansas Secretary of State, Business Services Division.
  4. Pay $115. That is the official fee.
  5. Set up the yearly filing. Information Report (Kansas Secretary of State), every two years, $90 (due: april 15, every second year).
