What Kansas requires of your resident agent (Kansas Secretary of State)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

The company itself, a Kansas resident, or a business entity formed in Kansas or authorized to do business there. Statute behind it: K.S.A. 17-7925.

The address has to be a Kansas address where the agent is regularly present. P.O. boxes are not accepted.

In the state's words: ksrevisor.gov (we looked on October 2026, so you can too)

Doing it alone

You lose nothing by acting as your own resident agent if you qualify. The services listed bill $99 to $149 a year for the in-state address.
