How reinstatement works in Kansas
Catch up on filings
Kansas requires each missed information report, limited to the last 10 years, to be filed with the LLC's reinstatement form, along with the fees for each document. 2
File the application
Kansas LLCs use form RL, the Certificate of Reinstatement, which is mailed to the Secretary of State in Topeka with the past due information reports. 2
Pay the state fee
Kansas charges an LLC a $35 filing fee for form RL. An $85 penalty fee applies when the LLC forfeited for failing to file an information report, and each report filed with the form costs $110. 2
Check the name
A Kansas LLC whose name is now used by another business must submit a written consent to use a similar name, or say its name has changed and give the new name. 2
What reinstatement does
In Kansas, reinstatement gives the LLC the same force and effect as if its articles had not been forfeited, and validates acts done during the forfeiture. 3
