A Kentucky Statement of Foreign Qualification is a document filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State that is used to register a foreign business in Kentucky. It is a required step for a business that is located outside of Kentucky but wishes to establish a presence in the state. The Kentucky Statement of Foreign Qualification is also referred to as a Kentucky Certificate of Authority. There are two types of Kentucky Statement of Foreign Qualification that a business can file depending on their type of business: a Certificate of Authority for a foreign corporation, and a Certificate of Authority for a foreign limited liability company. Both must include information such as the name of the business, its principal place of business, the name and address of a registered office, the name and address of a registered agent, the duration of the business, and the purpose of the business. The filing fee for a Kentucky Statement of Foreign Qualification is $65.
