How To Reinstate A Kansas Corporation
Reinstate Or Revive A Kansas Corporation:
Kansas allows both foreign and domestic corporations to reinstate following involuntary dissolution. If a corporation forfeits its authority for failure to file a biennial report or to pay the fee, the corporation may be reinstated by submitting a Kansas Corporate Certificate of Reinstatement, the past due biennial report(s), and all fees and penalties, due to the SOS. All the required documents must be in one envelope.
Domestic Kansas corporations that dissolve voluntarily may resume business if they file a Certificate of Revocation of Dissolution with the SOS within three years following dissolution.
Submit corporate reinstatement documents to: Kansas Office of the Secretary of State Memorial Hall, 1st Floor 120 S.W. 10th Avenue Topeka, KS 66612-1594 Phone: (785) 296-4564 Fax: (785) 296-4570
Submit one original for filing. After processing, it will be mailed to the corporation.
Fax filing is allowed for an additional $20 fee
