About Kentucky Foreign Registration
Kentucky Foreign Registration helps companies formed elsewhere get authority to work in Kentucky, and files their applications online with the Secretary of State.
Why we watch the clock
Kentucky charges a flat sum for every day of unauthorized business, and a company without a certificate cannot sue. We aim to get a filing out quickly and to keep the later dates, the January to June report window above all, in front of you.
Where our help ends
A Kentucky lawyer is the right person to say whether your activity is transacting business, and an accountant handles Kentucky tax. We prepare and file the Kentucky forms.
Our fee and Kentucky's
Start my Kentucky filing
KY+ $90 Kentucky fee
$199
- Form FBE, the Certificate of Authority (Foreign Business Entity), completed from your answers
- The signed statements Kentucky wants from your agent and your authorized signer, collected for you
- A Kentucky registered office and agent: ours, or the ones you already use
- Online submission through FastTrack, the file-stamped record, and the county clerk copy prepared
- Renewal: after the first year, the agent service renews at $149 a year
Kentucky's $90 is its own line at checkout. The county clerk bills separately for its copy. $199 plus the state fee, including your first year of registered agent service; after that the agent service renews at $149 a year.
