Biennial Report Service Benefits

At Northwest Registered Agent, we’re committed to protecting our clients’ privacy. Kansas Biennial Reports are public record, so we’ve designed our report service to protect your privacy. Here’s how:

In order to preserve your privacy, we will list OUR contact information instead of yours.
Only the minimum required information will be included.
We will list our IP address – limiting the connection between your cell phone, personal computer, and work computers – this makes it harder for advertisers to follow you.
We will list our bank and credit card information – not yours.

We believe everyone has the right to keep their information private. That’s why privacy is our guiding principle when we create every service and product.
