Kansas Information Report: Filing Instructions & Requirements
Kansas replaced its Annual Report with a biennial Information Report to cut paperwork while keeping public records current. The system is simple: file every two years based on the year you formed or qualified in Kansas.

- Delinquent immediately after the deadline; you cannot file other documents until cured.
- Three months later: forfeiture—loss of authority to do business and most legal protections.
- Reinstatement takes time and added cost; some licenses/contracts may be impacted.
- Track even/odd-year schedules and due dates.
- Update officers/agent info correctly.
- Coordinate multi-entity filings and keep records organized.
- Handle reinstatements if needed.
(and fixes)
- Wrong filing year (even vs. odd): note your formation/authorization year and calendar it.
- Mixing deadlines: for-profit = Apr 15; nonprofit = Jun 15th.
- Outdated registered agent/address: confirm before submitting.
- Name mismatch: use the exact legal name on file.
- Missing signer authority: ensure the right person certifies.
- Waiting past delinquency: file promptly to avoid forfeiture.
How do I know my filing year?
Match your Kansas formation/authorization year: even → even years; odd → odd years.
When are reports due?
For-profit: April 15; Nonprofit: June 15 of your filing year.
Can I file early?
Only during your designated filing year.
Do foreign entities follow the same schedule?
Yes—based on their Kansas authorization year.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
You become delinquent immediately; after ~3 months you risk forfeiture.
Can I update my registered agent on the report?
Yes—ensure the agent has a Kansas street address and has agreed to serve.
Is the fee different online vs. paper?
No—Kansas uses the same fee for both methods.
How do I confirm filing?
Save the online receipt and check your status in the Kansas business search.
What if we were formed late in the year?
Year matters, not month. A December even-year entity files in even years.
How do I get reinstated after forfeiture?
File all overdue reports, pay fees/penalties, and follow the Secretary of State’s reinstatement steps.
