How the ranking came out
Mainstay Filing wins upkeep the price covers, worth 31%, with KS Registered Agent.org close behind.
A foreign LLC already lives in two states, so a provider covering both came first.
What Kansas charges you to register a foreign LLC and what it requires
Working in Kansas with an LLC from another state means registering with the Kansas Secretary of State, Business Services Division, using the Application for Registration, Foreign (non-Kansas) Business (Form FA) and $115.
An unregistered LLC can face no standing to sue before Kansas courts (K.S.A. 17-76,126(a)).
In the state's words: sos.ks.gov (we looked on October 2026, so you can too)
What it costs without a service
Go it alone and Kansas still takes $205 over three years, and you complete every form yourself. A service charges $397 to $497 to take that over.
