Registered Agents in Kansas
Kansas corporations and LLCs are required to have a registered agent located in Kansas. The Kansas registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents including service of process (litigation) documents, franchise tax forms, and annual report forms.
A Kansas registered agent is an individual or company located at a street address in Kansas. Post office boxes are not acceptable addresses for a registered agent in Kansas.
If a company, such as BizFilings, is acting as your registered agent they must be registered as a corporation in Kansas. There are a number of advantages to using a registered agent service provider in Kansas, but the advantages differ between large and small companies.
Large companies in Kansas benefit by having service of process and state documents send to their registered agent's office in Kansas. The registered agent follows delivery instructions to ensure that important documents reach the correct individual. Smaller companies in Kansas benefit by providing a consistent Kansas address.
Another advantage to using another company as your Kansas registered agent is that the information of your Kansas registered agent is public record.
