Kansas’s $90 even-or-odd Information Report names members — that paper still is not the resident-agent job

What Kansas actually requires

K.S.A. 17-7925 is how Kansas names the agent today. Every covered entity shall have and maintain in this state a resident agent. That agent may be the covered entity itself; an individual resident in this state; a domestic corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, or business trust; or a foreign entity of those same kinds. That is the live sentence. We print it. We do not invent a shorter one. The same section then says the resident agent shall keep a business office identical with the registered office that is generally open, or, if an individual, be generally present at a designated location in this state at sufficiently frequent times to accept service of process and otherwise perform the functions of a resident agent. A foreign entity must be authorized to transact business in this state. The agent must accept service of process and other communications and forward them to the company. The agent must also forward documents sent by the Secretary of State. Kansas does not post Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 windows. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as K.S.A. 17-7925.

K.S.A. 17-7925(c) is the name pair this page will not collapse. Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever the term “resident agent” or “registered agent,” or another term of like import that refers to a covered entity’s agent required by statute to be located in this state, is used in a public organic document, any other document, or any statute, it shall be deemed to mean and refer to the resident agent required by this section. The live DL, ROA, and ILC forms still print registered agent and registered office next to resident agent. We print the statute and the forms. We do not invent a third label that makes them agree.

Kansas lets the company be its own resident agent. K.S.A. 17-7925(a)(1) says the covered entity itself may serve. The live Articles of Organization form repeats that line: the resident agent may be an individual, a Kansas-registered business, or the business itself. Kentucky’s live RAC form says the business being registered cannot be its own registered agent. Kansas’s live statute goes the other way. We print the Kansas sentence. We do not import the Kentucky form rule.

K.S.A. 17-7673 is what the articles of organization must say. They shall set forth the name of the limited liability company; the address of the registered office required by K.S.A. 17-7924; and the name of the resident agent for service of process required by K.S.A. 17-7925. Leaving the office or the resident agent unlisted is a rejected filing. The live DL form prices Articles of Organization at $85.00 online or $90.00 on paper. Bizee’s Kansas page names a $165 online / $185 paper filing fee. The live form we retrieved is $85 / $90. We print the live $85 / $90 pair and Bizee’s $165 / $185 pair. We do not invent a third number that makes them agree. That first paper is a first paper. It is not the resident-agent job.

K.S.A. 17-7924 is the street rule. Every covered entity shall have and maintain in this state a registered office that may, but need not be, the same as its place of business. The postal address of that office shall include the building and suite number, street name or rural route number with box number, city, state, and zip code. The live DL, ROA, and ILC forms say a P.O. Box is not that office. We print the statute’s street-or-rural-route sentence and the forms’ no-P.O.-Box line. We do not invent a shorter one. A P.O. Box alone is not that street. Northwest’s Kansas page talks about a physical address. Bizee’s Kansas page talks about a physical street. ZenBusiness’s Kansas page says the registered office must be a physical street address, not a P.O. box. Those vendor sentences match the form line we opened.

K.S.A. 17-7926 is how the company changes the line after organization. Any covered entity may change the location of its registered office in this state and may change the resident agent to any other person described in K.S.A. 17-7925(a). A certificate certifying the change shall be executed and filed with the Secretary of State. If the resident agent dies or moves from the registered office, the entity shall designate another resident agent within 30 days. If no new agent is designated, service of legal process may be made as prescribed by K.S.A. 60-304. If the entity still fails to designate a new resident agent, the Secretary of State, after giving 30 days notice of the intended action, may declare the public organic document forfeited. The live change page calls that certificate Form ROA, Certificate of Amendment to the Resident Agent. The live ROA form prices it at $30.00 online or $35.00 on paper for other businesses, and $20.00 for a not-for-profit. ZenBusiness’s Kansas page, last updated August 26, 2025, prints $30 online / $35 mail. Those two $30 / $35 pairs match. LegalZoom’s Kansas article, updated April 30, 2026, prints the same $30 / $35 pair. Northwest’s Kansas page names a Change of Registered Office/Resident Agent form and does not print a dollar. Bizee’s Kansas page does not print the ROA dollar. We print the live $30 / $35 table, ZenBusiness’s matching pair, LegalZoom’s matching pair, and the vendor pages that skip the dollar. We do not invent a fifth number that makes them agree. Putting a new name on a $30 paper is still not the resident-agent job. The job is taking court papers at the Kansas office.

ZenBusiness’s Kansas page says you cannot change the resident agent on an annual report or by amending the articles. You must use the change form. The live ILC Information Report we opened has no resident-agent change fields. The live change page sends that job to ROA. Those three sentences match. LegalZoom’s Kansas article also sends the change to Form ROA. We print them. We do not invent a fourth path.

K.S.A. 17-7929 is how an agent steps down. The resident agent may resign without appointing a successor by paying a fee, if authorized, and filing a certificate of resignation. That resignation shall not become effective until 30 days after the certificate is filed. The certificate must say that written notice of resignation was given to the covered entity at least 30 days before the filing. After that notice, the company shall obtain and designate a new resident agent. If the company fails to designate a successor before the expiration of 60 days after the resignation was filed, the Secretary of State shall declare the organizing documents forfeited. After the resignation is effective, and if no successor was named in time, service of legal process is upon the Secretary of State in the manner prescribed by K.S.A. 60-304. The live RAN form prices that resignation at $35.00 for other businesses, $20.00 for a not-for-profit, and $150.00 for a bulk filing. We print the statute’s 30-day notice, 30-day effective date, and 60-day successor clock, and the live RAN dollars. We do not invent a fourth clock that makes them agree.

K.S.A. 17-76,139 is the even-or-odd Secretary of State paper this page will not confuse with the agent job. Every limited liability company shall make a written business entity information report to the Secretary of State. The report shall be filed biennially, as determined by the year the company filed its formation documents. A company that filed in an even-numbered year shall file in each even-numbered year. A company that filed in an odd-numbered year shall file in each odd-numbered year. The report shall be filed not later than April 15. The report shall contain the name of the company; a list of the members owning at least 5% of the capital, with the postal address of each; and the location of the principal office, including the building and suite number, street name or rural route number with box number, city, state, and zip code. That is the live field list. It does not name the resident agent. It does not ask you to change the resident agent. The live ILC form uses those same fields. The live Information Reports page calls the paper an Information Report, says it is filed every two years, and says businesses forming in even years file in even years and businesses forming in odd years file in odd years. The same page says all for-profit businesses are due by April 15 of their odd or even year, and all not-for-profit businesses are due by June 15 of their odd or even year. We print the statute’s April 15 LLC sentence and the office’s for-profit / not-for-profit pair. We do not invent a third deadline that makes them agree.

The fee on that paper is two numbers. K.S.A. 17-76,139(f) says that at the time of filing, each limited liability company shall pay a fee in an amount equal to $80, plus the amount specified in rules and regulations of the secretary. The live ILC form prices the Information Report at $90.00 online or $110.00 on paper. We print the statute’s $80-plus-rules sentence and the live $90 / $110 form. We do not invent a third dollar that makes them agree. Bizee’s Kansas page says, “Annual report due: Between November 1 and April 15 each year.” The live statute we opened is a biennial Information Report due April 15 of the even or odd year. The live office page is the same even-or-odd paper. We print Bizee’s yearly sentence and the live biennial pair. We do not invent a fourth calendar that makes them agree. Putting member names on a $90 even-or-odd paper is still not the resident-agent job. The job is taking court papers at the Kansas office.

The missing-report clock sits on the same two pages. K.S.A. 17-76,139(g) sends a late Information Report to the corporation penalties in K.S.A. 17-7509 and 17-7510(a) if the company fails to file or pay within 90 days of the time prescribed. The live Information Reports page says every business is afforded a three-month delinquency interval after the due date. Once that interval has passed, a business will forfeit. After forfeiture the company cannot file any other document until it has submitted past-due reports and has been reinstated. We print the statute’s 90-day sentence and the office’s three-month sentence. We do not invent a third clock. Stay without a designated successor after a resignation past 60 days, or miss the Information Report past that delinquency window, and that is the path we opened.

The public lookup sits at sos.ks.gov. Confirm the live line on the Kansas Business Entity Search before you treat a marketing city as current. Headquarters is not the registered office. The Secretary of State’s Topeka contacts are not a vendor suite.

Paper filings go to the Kansas Secretary of State. The live Information Reports page, the live Change/Amend page, and the live forms we opened print Docking State Office Building, 915 SW Harrison Street, Topeka, KS 66612. The same pages print 785-296-4564 and hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ZenBusiness’s Kansas page still prints Memorial Hall, 120 S.W. 10th Ave, Topeka, KS 66612-1594. We print the live Docking address and ZenBusiness’s Memorial Hall address. We do not invent a winner. Those addresses are the Secretary of State’s addresses. They are not a registered-office clock. Kansas does not post Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 windows. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as K.S.A. 17-7925.

Cited prices, retrieved September 20, 2026

We print what the company’s official registered-agent page said on the retrieval date. No company publishes a different Kansas registered-agent price from the national card, except where we note a Kansas-page sentence. We do not invent a renewal.

• Northwest Registered Agent: official page: “$125 Per Year.” Same price in year two on the national card. Five or more states is $100 a year per state. Retrieved September 20, 2026 from northwestregisteredagent.com/registered-agent and the Kansas product page. First year free only if you form through them; we do not treat that bundle as the standalone price. The Kansas page says they accept and scan documents at their registered office in Wichita, KS. The same company also sells extra mail scans. Those extras are a different product. We do not grade those extras as the resident-agent job. The same page names a Change of Registered Office/Resident Agent form and does not print a dollar. The live ROA form we retrieved is $30 online or $35 on paper. The same page talks about normal business hours. That clock is Northwest copy. We do not treat it as K.S.A. 17-7925.
• Bizee: official registered-agent page: free first year with formation; standalone $149/year; year two $149/year. Retrieved September 20, 2026 from bizee.com/business-management/registered-agent and the Kansas product page. That Kansas page names a $165 online / $185 paper filing fee. The live DL form we retrieved is $85 online / $90 on paper. The same page says, “Annual report due: Between November 1 and April 15 each year.” The live statute we retrieved is a biennial Information Report due April 15 of the even or odd year. The same page does not print the $30 / $35 ROA change fee. After a free first year with formation, the official card says the agent service is $149 a year. The same page talks about a physical street during normal business hours. That is Bizee copy. We print those vendor sentences. We do not invent a Kansas-only price from a missing page.
• LegalZoom: official overview retrieved September 20, 2026: “Get registered agent services for $249/year.” Product card: $249/year. Retrieved from legalzoom.com/…/registered-agent-overview.html. The live Kansas article is legalzoom.com/articles/registered-agent-in-kansas, updated April 30, 2026. That article prints Form ROA at $30 online / $35 paper. Those two dollars match the live form. It prints the Docking State Office Building address. It claims an office in Topeka and does not print a LegalZoom street. We do not invent a suite. It says professional services typically cost $50–$300 per year. That range is not a LegalZoom price. We keep the national card. The same article talks about normal business hours. That clock is LegalZoom copy. We print those vendor sentences. We do not invent a suite or a higher year-two number.
• ZenBusiness: official Kansas page: first-year and renewal dollars are the national card. The national page says $99 + state fees for the first year and renews at $199/yr, subject to change. We keep the national card. The live Kansas page is /kansas-registered-agent/, last updated August 26, 2025. That page prints a $30 online / $35 mail change and says you cannot change the agent on an annual report or the articles. Those two sentences match the live ROA form and the live ILC fields. The same page prints Secretary of State contacts at Memorial Hall, 120 S.W. 10th Ave, Topeka, KS 66612-1594. The live Information Reports page we retrieved prints Docking State Office Building, 915 SW Harrison Street. We print both addresses. The national page says they currently do not offer registered-agent service to PLLCs or nonprofits. That is their national exclusion, not a Kansas statute. Retrieved September 20, 2026 from zenbusiness.com/registered-agent and the Kansas registered-agent page.

A change of resident agent is a separate Secretary of State filing. ZenBusiness’s Kansas page will not take that change on the Information Report or the articles. We cite the $30 / $35 ROA row on the live form, ZenBusiness’s matching $30 / $35 sentence, LegalZoom’s matching $30 / $35 sentence, Northwest’s form name with no dollar, Bizee’s missing dollar, and the $90 Information Report. The even-or-odd paper can name the members. It is still not the resident-agent job.

Who publishes a Kansas street

A city is not a registered office. We print only the streets the companies publish for registered-agent use. We do not invent the rest. Confirm the live name and street on the Kansas Business Entity Search before you file. Headquarters is not the registered office. The Secretary of State’s Topeka contacts are not vendor suites.

• Northwest. The Kansas product page says they accept and scan documents at their registered office in Wichita, KS. The office-locations page lists Wichita, KS 67218 Sedgwick County, and says they leave the street off this list. No street is published. The two city lines match on Wichita. We have not been to a Wichita office. Northwest also sells extra mail scans from that location. Those extras are a different product.
• Bizee. Claims owned offices in all 50 states. The official registered-agent page names no Kansas street. The live Kansas product page names no Kansas street. The contact page lists 17350 State Highway 249, Suite 220, Houston, TX 77064 as headquarters. That address is not a Kansas registered-agent street.
• LegalZoom. The official registered-agent overview does not publish a Kansas street. The live Kansas article claims an office in Topeka and names no LegalZoom street. We do not invent a suite. We do not treat a LegalZoom virtual-mail street as the registered-agent street.
• ZenBusiness. The Kansas registered-agent page publishes no ZenBusiness street or city. It prints Secretary of State contacts at Memorial Hall, 120 S.W. 10th Ave, Topeka, KS 66612-1594. Those lines are office contacts. They are not ZenBusiness. The live Information Reports page we retrieved prints Docking State Office Building, 915 SW Harrison Street, Topeka, KS 66612. We do not treat those suites as their office.

If you are your own resident agent, the street on the public record is often your home. Kansas also lets the company itself sit on that line. If you hire a commercial resident agent, the agent line is that organization’s name. Northwest names Wichita on the product page and Wichita, KS 67218 Sedgwick County on the office list, and no street on either. LegalZoom claims Topeka and publishes no street. Bizee publishes no Kansas street. ZenBusiness publishes the Secretary of State’s Memorial Hall address. We label every published city vendor-claimed. Use the Business Entity Search.

In-state office, the $30 ROA change, and the $90 even-or-odd paper

Kansas wants a registered office in this state and a resident agent. The articles of organization must name that office and the resident agent. A P.O. Box is not that office on the live forms. The statute lets the company itself be the resident agent. Change the agent on a $30 online or $35 paper Form ROA. ZenBusiness’s Kansas page will not take that change on the Information Report or the articles. Resignation on the RAN form is $35 for other businesses and ends 30 days after filing. A successor must be named within 60 days or the Secretary of State forfeits the organizing documents. The Information Report is biennial. Even-year companies file in even years. Odd-year companies file in odd years. For-profit companies are due April 15. That paper names the principal office and the 5% members. It is still not the resident-agent job. Stay without a successor past 60 days, or miss the Information Report past the three-month delinquency window, and the Secretary of State may forfeit the organizing documents. Kansas does not post a Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 clock, and it does not run a Nevada-style ten-company commercial-agent register. Northwest claims Wichita, ZIP 67218, Sedgwick County. LegalZoom claims Topeka and names no street. ZenBusiness publishes Memorial Hall — a Secretary of State contact. Bizee names no Kansas street. Process Score has not been to those offices. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as K.S.A. 17-7925.

Service of process, not marketing mail

We grade scan-and-forward of service of process and official notices:

• Bizee: notifications by text and email; court papers mailed via FedEx with tracking; portal upload by employees. The Kansas page talks about a physical street during normal business hours. That is Bizee copy. Contact-page support hours are Monday–Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST. Those are support hours, not registered-office hours.
• Northwest: “We scan every document you receive right where you receive it—in our office.” The Kansas page adds scans at the Wichita office. Their extra mail-scan product is a different product. We do not grade those extras as a mailbox.
• LegalZoom: upload, email, and a postcard for urgent legal mail; they say they shred junk mail. The live Kansas article claims a Topeka office and names no LegalZoom street. Junk-mail shredding is not the job we score. That clock is not the statute.
• ZenBusiness: scan and upload to a dashboard; email; overnight the original for urgent legal notices. Their own FAQ says you cannot use the agent address as your business address. Their national product currently excludes PLLCs and nonprofits; that is their exclusion, not a Kansas statute. The Kansas page prints Secretary of State contacts at Memorial Hall. Those suites are office copy. They are not K.S.A. 17-7925.

Home-address privacy

A commercial resident agent is how most Kansas owners keep a home off the agent line. The Secretary of State still publishes whatever other addresses you put on a formation filing or an Information Report. Privacy of the agent line is not privacy of every field. Form ILC also lists members who own 5% or more of the capital. A Kansas covered entity must keep a resident agent. It cannot leave that line blank. Confirm the live line on the Business Entity Search.

• It does not treat the $90 even-or-odd Information Report as the resident-agent job. That paper names the principal office and the 5% members. It is still not the job.
• It does not treat Form ILC as a change of resident agent. The live form has no resident-agent change fields. The live change page sends that job to Form ROA.
• It does not invent a winner between the statute’s “resident agent” and the Secretary of State’s “registered agent.” K.S.A. 17-7925(c) says those words mean the same job.
• It does not invent a winner between Bizee’s $165 / $185 formation pair and the live $85 / $90 DL form.
• It does not invent a winner between Bizee’s “each year” November 1 to April 15 sentence and the live biennial April 15 Information Report.

• It does not invent a winner between the statute’s April 15 LLC sentence and the office’s April 15 for-profit / June 15 not-for-profit pair.
• It does not invent a winner between the statute’s 90-day late clock and the office’s three-month delinquency interval.
• It does not invent a winner between the live Docking State Office Building address and ZenBusiness’s Memorial Hall address. Both are Secretary of State contacts.
• It does not treat a Houston headquarters as a Kansas street.
• It does not treat Docking State Office Building or Memorial Hall as a vendor suite. Those contacts are the Secretary of State.
• It does not invent a Kansas-only price a company did not print.
• It does not invent a LegalZoom Kansas street the live article did not print. The article claims Topeka and skips the street.
• It does not treat a P.O. Box as the registered office. The live DL, ROA, and ILC forms refuse that box.
• It does not pretend a Kansas covered entity may skip the resident agent. K.S.A. 17-7925 says the entity shall have and maintain a resident agent.
• It does not import Kentucky’s “cannot be its own agent” form line. Kansas’s live statute lets the covered entity itself serve.
• It does not treat Northwest’s extra mail-scan product as the resident-agent job.
• It does not treat LegalZoom’s $50–$300 range as that company’s Kansas price.
