How to order it

  1. Clear any past-due filings first. Check your entity status with the Kansas SOS and resolve the requirements below. Tax clearance may be a separate document.
  2. Order it online. Search your LLC in the Kansas portal, request the certificate, and download it. Link in the table above.
  3. Pay the $10 fee. Confirm payment methods and the total in the official portal; extra fees may apply.
  4. Use it inside the recipient's window. The certificate has no state expiration, but banks and other states usually want one dated within the last 30 to 90 days. Order it close to when you need it.

Full ordering details for Kansas

Kansas charges $10 for a Certificate of Good Standing online and $15 by mail on the Copy Order form. Plain file-stamped copies of filed documents are free.

Important to know about Kansas

  • The Kansas Information Report ($90 online, $110 on paper) is filed every two years, by April 15. An LLC formed (or, if out-of-state, registered) in an even year files in even years, and one formed in an odd year files in odd years. More than three months late and the LLC is forfeited; it then has to file the missed reports and be reinstated.
  • A separate Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue is required by some third parties. This is different from the SOS Certificate of Good Standing.
  • Solicitations offering Kansas Certificate of Good Standing services circulate by mail. The same certificate costs about $10 direct from the SOS.

Ordering this to register in another state?

A certificate of good standing from Kansas is what the new state asks for when your Kansas LLC registers to do business there. Pick the state you are expanding into to see its exact filing, fee, and process.
