It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your Michigan name and formation date. If Mississippi wants the Michigan certificate, it is ordered first. Once Mississippi approves it, the Michigan company can do business there.

Your Michigan name and Mississippi's rules

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

Your Mississippi agent and the Michigan one

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