A business entity ID number is an identification number assigned to each business entity registered with the Secretary of State’s office. You can find information on any corporation or business entity by performing a search on the Secretary of State website. Registration of marks in Kansas is based on actual use of the mark in Kansas commerce.
Besides a name availability check, you may also search existing business names and get more details such as ID number, status, registered agent name, and annual reports.
Annual Report and DBA Regulations
The annual report due date depends on the entity’s tax closing period. An annual report may be filed beginning January 1 but must be filed by April 15.
You do not need a lawyer to file a DBA Name in Kansas. It is necessary to publish the filing of a DBA Name in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where your business is located. The cost of publishing ranges from $50 to $100.
Finding Your Tax ID and Access Code
To find your Kansas state tax ID number or access code, search your unique ID number on the Secretary of State website. Registration of marks and assigning an agent for your business can also be done through a similar process.
