$149 a year, flat

Top grade, Mainstay Filing: one agent plan at $149 a year that works in every state, renewing at $149.

Launching a new company? The $199 yearly package also takes care of the Kansas filing and the information report.

It runs $150 above KS Registered Agent.org across three years; the extra paperwork it handles is worth that to us.

The thinking behind the order

What made the call in Kansas was launch paperwork handled. The grading method sets cost to launch and stay at 26%, launch paperwork handled at 26% and renewal behavior, state match and price transparency at 48% combined.

Mainstay's plan covers more ground: papers served on the company are scanned the same business day at no charge, the price is the same in all fifty states, and three government letters a year are scanned free. KS Registered Agent.org costs less, and the grades are close.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.

Kansas resident agent rules, straight from Kansas Secretary of State

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a Kansas address where the agent is regularly present. P.O. boxes are not accepted. Law behind it: K.S.A. 17-7925.

Kansas information report: date and fee

Put the information report on your Kansas calendar every two years. Count on a $90 state charge, with the deadline at 15th day of the 4th month after tax-year-end. Your resident agent receives the state's notices about it.

Quick answers about Kansas registered agents

Do I have to line up a resident agent before launching a Kansas LLC?

Yes. Put a resident agent with a physical Kansas address on the paperwork, because the state will not accept an LLC without one.

What should I budget each year for a Kansas registered agent?

Expect $99 to $149 a year, and each company keeps its price at renewal.

Could I just serve as my own resident agent?

Often yes, if you meet the state's conditions. The company itself, a Kansas resident, or a business entity formed in Kansas or authorized to do business there.

When does the Kansas information report come due?

Put 15th day of the 4th month after tax-year-end on your calendar. The state asks $90.

Which registered agents are graded on this page?

Mainstay Filing ($149 a year) and KS Registered Agent.org ($99 a year), top grade first.

Which Kansas registered agent should a new company pick first?

Mainstay Filing, because the price stays $149 a year if you stay put or expand, and your first three government letters each year are scanned free.
