How Georgia companies register with Mississippi

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

Your Georgia name and Mississippi's rules

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

Your Mississippi agent and the Georgia one

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

Yearly filings: Mississippi and Georgia

Each year your corporation files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Georgia plus Mississippi comes to $234 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Georgia to Mississippi

An LLC formed in Georgia files Form F0200 with Mississippi ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Georgia's Annual Registration ($60) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($250). See the LLC filing.
