What Is a Resident Agent in Kansas?
A resident agent in Kansas agent is the person you designate to accept important legal mail for your business. Other states use the title registered agent instead of resident agent, but they’re interchangeable terms for the same role. You’ll need to have your resident agent’s name and address ready before you officially register your company with the Kansas Secretary of State.
State rules for a resident agent are outlined in Kan. Stat. § 17-7925. At a minimum, your registered agent must:
- Be able to accept legal documents during regular business hours (9 AM to 5 PM).
- Have a physical, registered office address located within the state of Kansas, not a P.O. Box.
A resident agent can do so much more than just receive mail. At Northwest, we go above and beyond the minimum to ensure top speed, security, privacy, and support for all our clients.
Anyone forming a Kansas LLC, a Kansas corporation, or a Kansas nonprofit should have a resident agent.
You should designate or hire an agent first, then form your LLC or corporation. The Secretary of State will reject a business registration filing if a resident agent’s contact information isn’t included when you submit your documents.
If you need to legally notify a Kansas business via their resident agent:
- Look up the company using the Kansas business name search.
- Type in the company name you want to find on the Kansas Secretary of State website.
- Find the resident agent’s name and address.
