How Mississippi companies register with Idaho

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

Your Mississippi name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Mississippi company. We check your exact Mississippi name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the Mississippi one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Mississippi

Each year your corporation files Mississippi's Annual Report ($25) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Mississippi plus Idaho comes to $174 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Mississippi to Idaho

An LLC formed in Mississippi files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25)). After that come Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Idaho

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Mississippi corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Mississippi's Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Mississippi's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Idaho?

$174 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Mississippi and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Mississippi name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Mississippi name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
