The 5 steps to change agents in Kansas

Step 3 is the state filing; the rest keeps legal papers from slipping through during the switch.

  1. 1

    Choose the new agent

    Before you file

    The new agent needs a Kansas street address and must be there in business hours to accept legal papers. You can serve yourself, but your address then goes on the public record. Kansas registered agent rules.

  2. 2

    Get the new agent's consent

    Where people get stuck

    Most states require the new agent to agree in writing, on the form or in a separate consent. A commercial agent like ours handles this as part of the order.

  3. 3

    File the change with the state

    We file this one

    File the registered office or resident agent change online ($5); the paper form is $10 plus a $5 technology fee. State fee: $5. Form and current fee: Kansas's official page.

  4. 4

    Cancel the old agent after the state accepts

    Avoid a gap

    Keep the old service until the state's record shows the new agent, so legal papers served in between still reach you.

  5. 5

    Check the next yearly filing

    Keep it consistent

    The Kansas biennial information report is due every two years, by April 15, with a state fee of $90. Make sure it lists the new agent. Kansas annual report details.
