What makes this state different
Kansas requires you to route through its free public business-entity search tool to reach the certificate order button, rather than offering a standalone order form.
A note on sourcing: The official copies-and-certifications.html page loaded and confirms the ordering process, but its static text does not display a dollar figure (shown only inside the order flow). The $10/$15 figures come from several independent, mutually consistent secondary sources; a lower-quality single source claiming a $5 fee was not used because it could not be corroborated.

Every fee on this page was read directly from the state’s own Secretary of State (or equivalent agency) site or fee-schedule PDF this session, or, where that site blocked automated access, from an archived snapshot of the same official document or independently cross-checked legal-directory sources (disclosed below). General information, not legal advice; states change fees without notice, so confirm the current price at checkout before you pay.
