From Mississippi to Wyoming, step by step

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

Your Mississippi name and Wyoming's rules

We search Wyoming's records for Mississippi's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Wyoming agent and the Mississippi one

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

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Mississippi

Each year your corporation files Mississippi's Annual Report ($25) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Mississippi plus Wyoming comes to $234 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Mississippi to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Mississippi files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 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 Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the LLC filing.

$234 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Mississippi and $60 to Wyoming for the yearly reports.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Wyoming's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Foreign Profit Corporation Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Wyoming's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
