How Florida companies register with Mississippi

We prepare and file Form F0002
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Florida name and formation date. If Mississippi wants the Florida certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Florida corporation is registered with Mississippi.

Will your Florida name work for Mississippi?

We check your exact Florida name against Mississippi's records before filing.

Your Mississippi agent and the Florida one

Florida and Mississippi both call it a registered agent. Mississippi papers come to us; Florida's agent is unchanged.
