How Mississippi companies register with Utah

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

Your Mississippi name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the Mississippi name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Mississippi name against Utah's records before filing.

Agents: Utah and Mississippi

Mississippi and Utah both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Mississippi; ours takes Utah's papers and notices.

LLC or corporation, Mississippi to Utah

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Utah

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Mississippi's Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Utah?

$192 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Mississippi and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah corporation instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Profit or Non-Profit Corporation; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
