How Kansas companies register with Mississippi

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

Will your Kansas name work for Mississippi?

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

Agents: Mississippi and Kansas

Mississippi calls it a registered agent; Kansas says resident agent. Mississippi papers come to us; Kansas's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Mississippi

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; Mississippi wants the Annual Report every year ($25). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Mississippi

An LLC formed in Kansas files Form F0200 with Mississippi ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($250). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Mississippi into Kansas

A corporation formed in Mississippi that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Mississippi certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Kansas to Mississippi

Does my Kansas company need to register in Mississippi?

Yes, once a Kansas business operates there; Mississippi registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Mississippi issues one to Kansas corporations once the form is approved.

How much does the Mississippi registration cost?

$699 at checkout; Mississippi may also want Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Mississippi?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and Mississippi's report ($25).

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Mississippi for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Mississippi corporation instead?

Yes, but Kansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Mississippi's Annual Report ($25), and the original keeps Kansas's Business Entity Information Report.

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

Kansas companies leave by filing an Application of Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Mississippi's report stays due alongside Kansas's filings.

What does a Mississippi company file to register in Kansas?
