How Mississippi companies register with Nevada

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

Will your Mississippi name work for Nevada?

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Nevada agent and the Mississippi one

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

Staying in good standing in Mississippi and Nevada

Mississippi wants the Annual Report every year ($25); Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Mississippi to Nevada

An LLC formed in Mississippi files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Nevada into Mississippi

A corporation formed in Nevada that registers with Mississippi files Form F0002 with $500 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Nevada

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Nevada calls it qualification for Mississippi corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want Mississippi's Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge, plus time for Mississippi's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

Yes: the Mississippi registered agent stays, and ours covers Nevada for year one.

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent, and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
