Kansas Registered Agents

Kansas Resident Agent Services

Overview

Under Kansas law, every business entity formed or registered with the Secretary of State must designate and maintain a resident (registered) agent and registered office. The individual or entity appointed as registered agent is responsible for accepting service of process on behalf of the business and forwarding that process to the business.

What Kansas Resident Agents Do:

Every Kansas registered agent must maintain a physical address in Kansas, known as the registered office address. This is where the registered agent receives service of process and official documents on behalf of the business.

The Kansas registered agent is the point of contact between the state and your business. When you have been sued or the state sends you some legal notice, the registered agent is responsible for making sure you get that information, fast. Registered Agents Inc. takes this responsibility as your Kansas registered agent seriously.

Why Kansas Resident Agents are Important:

Having a registered agent with a physical address is key to doing business in any given state. The state expects that when you do business there, you will have a reliable address where someone can deliver a lawsuit, tax notification, or other highly sensitive mail for your Kansas LLC or corporation. Having a Kansas registered agent you trust also benefits you. If your Kansas registered agent is incompetent or inefficient at delivering notifications to you, lawsuits can proceed and default judgments could be made against your business without you ever knowing it. That’s why retaining the services of a highly qualified registered agent like Registered Agents Inc. really matters.

Registered Agents Inc. has also created a service that is more than the fulfillment of a statutory requirement—we can make managing your business easier.

Kansas Resident Agent Requirements

To become a Kansas registered agent you must be either an individual who is a resident of Kansas or a business entity that is registered to do business in Kansas. Only certain types of entities may act as the resident agent for other entities. For example, only a corporation, LLC, LP, or business trust may be the resident agent for a corporation in Kansas. LLCs have the same options except that the LLC has the added option of being its own resident agent in Kansas. We suggest checking the SOS website or Kansas statutes if you are unsure what type of business entity may serve as your Kansas resident agent.

A Kansas resident agent must also maintain a street address (registered office) in Kansas, where you can accept and sign for service of process and official mail during normal business hours. A mail box or phone service is not sufficient. The resident agent is required to physically be at an address Kansas, ready to accept notifications and service of process throughout the working day.
