Kansas Foreign LLC Registration (2026): Fees and the 2 Best Services
In 2026 we'd hire Mainstay Filing ($199) and KS Registered Agent.org ($199) for foreign LLC registration in Kansas, in that order. Registration costs $115 at the Kansas Secretary of State, Business Services Division, then $90 per report: 19th of 50 states on three-year state fees.
An LLC formed elsewhere files the Application for Registration, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business (Form FA) with the Kansas Secretary of State, Business Services Division and pays $115.
Each cycle it files the Information Report ($90), April 15, every second year.

The cost of not registering
While unregistered, the LLC is barred from starting a lawsuit there (K.S.A. 17-76,126(a)). Its agreements remain in force (K.S.A. 17-76,126(b)).
The reasoning
Mainstay Filing over KS Registered Agent.org came down to state filings covered, a 30% criterion.
