E-mail our Kansas registered agent (resident agent), or order
online. You may also call us at 1-800-669-9805 for further information
or to arrange for service. We can arrange for immediate service or
we can schedule our registered agency to begin when your current resident
agent's term expires. (Note the interchangeable use of "registered"
and "resident" agent. The former is the more common usage,
but Kansas like several other states chooses to stress the importance
of a physical person at a Kansas address. A post office box alone
will not meet the requirements.)
By whatever name the office of registered agent
requires quality service at a reasonable price. We provide this at
$99 per year --- satisfaction guaranteed.
If you are paying more or getting less at a price, say between $50
and $250, you can comply with Kansas
laws requiring an agent without overpaying or sacrificing quality
and dependability.
At $99 you will have an attorney-managed agent
in Kansas. Why is this important? The requirement for a resident agent
in The Jayhawker State means that someone must be ready to serve process.
That means the person cannot be in Europe unless the agent has made
arrangements with a responsible party. Lawyers understand this legal
mandate and they know the consequences, both financial and legal,
that can result from mishandled legal papers.

"statutory" stresses another aspect of the duties of a registered
agent or a resident agent. They operate under legislative mandate
as a registered agent and/or statutory agent.

we can help you with trade and service marks. We can help you with
an extra-provincial license to operate as a foreign corporation in
Canada. As The Sunflower State has strong roots in agribusiness, so
Massachusetts has an heritage in maritime affairs. Through our network
of lawyers, we can help you find legal expertise related to these
and other such specific needs in the different states.
Here
is a quick summary of facts you should know about a registered agent
in the State of Kansas:
"Statutory
agent", "registered agent" and "resident agent"
are three names for the same thing: an agent authorized by a company
to receive documents and notices. (Since the three terms all refer
to a Resident of the
state acting as an AGENT, we
have coined the term "ragent" to include them all).
This Kansas "ragent"
must be either (1) a domestic company formed under Kansas corporate
law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Kansas
(3) a limited liability company formed under Kansas law (4) a limited
liability company authorized to transact business in Kansas or (5)
an adult individual who resides in Kansas. Item (5) stresses the nature
of a registered office.
It is important
to restate that the registered agent must have a Kansas street
address rather than a post office box.
