Kansas resident agent Service — $99/year
Protect your business from compliance risks and missed legal deadlines.
Get Started — $99/yearFailing to maintain a resident agent can lead to your Kansas entity being administratively dissolved by the Secretary of State.
Without a reliable agent, you may miss critical legal documents, resulting in default judgments against your business.
Missing annual report deadlines can trigger fines and jeopardize your entity's good standing in Kansas.
An entity not in good standing may lose the personal liability protections that LLC or corporate status provides.
Kansas requires annual reports to be filed with the Secretary of State. Missing the deadline triggers late fees.

State tax obligations must be met on schedule. Your resident agent may receive related notices on your behalf.
Kansas switched from annual to biennial reporting in January 2024. Most business entities now file every two years instead of every year. Understanding these requirements helps you avoid penalties and keep your business in good standing with the Kansas Secretary of State.
A biennial report is a filing that updates the state on your entity's current information. It confirms your business address, principal officers, registered office, and resident agent. The Kansas Secretary of State uses this information to maintain accurate records and ensure they can contact your business when needed.
Filing your biennial report keeps your entity active and compliant. If you fail to file, the state may:
Regular filing ensures your business remains in good standing and avoids these complications.
Filing Frequency: Biennial (every two years) Fee: $50 online, $55 by mail Due Date: April 15 for calendar-year entities Where to File: Kansas Secretary of State at sos.ks.gov
Kansas changed from annual to biennial reporting in January 2024. If you filed in 2023, your next filing would typically be due in 2025, then 2027, and so on. The exact schedule depends on when your entity was formed or last filed.
The $50 online fee is separate from other filings. For example, for-profit entities also pay a $160 online fee ($165 by mail) for their Biennial Information Report. Nonprofits and some other entity types may have different fee structures.
Your biennial report typically includes:
You'll confirm that this information is current or update it if anything has changed since your last filing.
Missing your biennial report deadline can lead to:
Late Fees The state may charge additional fees for late filings. The longer you wait, the more you may owe.
Inactive Status Your entity may be moved to inactive or forfeited status, which can affect your ability to conduct business, open bank accounts, or enter contracts.
Reinstatement Costs If your entity is dissolved for non-filing, you'll need to file reinstatement paperwork and pay additional fees to restore good standing.
Legal Complications Operating a business that's not in good standing can create liability issues and complicate legal protections your entity structure provides.
For $99 per year, we provide resident agent service and compliance support. We track your biennial report deadlines and send reminders before they're due. This gives you time to gather the necessary information and file on time.
We also receive any notices from the Kansas Secretary of State regarding your filing status. If the state sends a delinquency notice or reminder, we scan it and upload it to your portal the same day, ensuring you don't miss critical information.
Our service includes:
You can file online through the Kansas Secretary of State's website or submit a paper form by mail. Online filing is faster and costs $5 less than paper filing.
Most entities file by April 15 if they operate on a calendar year. Your specific deadline may vary based on your formation date or fiscal year. Check your entity's record with the Kansas Secretary of State to confirm your due date.
