How Nebraska companies register with Mississippi

We prepare and file Form F0002
It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your Nebraska name and formation date. If Mississippi wants the Nebraska certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Nebraska corporation is registered with Mississippi.

Will your Nebraska name work for Mississippi?

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

Agents: Mississippi and Nebraska

Mississippi calls it a registered agent; Nebraska says agent for service of process. Your current agent for service of process stays for Nebraska; ours takes Mississippi's papers and notices.
