Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Mississippi

To do business in Mississippi, an LLC formed in Arizona registers there on Form F0200, with $250 in state fees. Mississippi also asks for Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing ($10), no older than 180 days.

From Arizona to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. Mississippi accepts it within 180 days of Arizona's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Mississippi filing goes in. After approval, your Arizona LLC is registered with Mississippi.

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

Your Mississippi agent and the Arizona one

Mississippi calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Mississippi papers come to us; Arizona's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Arizona and Mississippi

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Mississippi wants the Annual Report every year ($250). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Mississippi

A corporation formed in Arizona files Form F0002 with Mississippi ($500 in state fees). After that come Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Mississippi into Arizona

An LLC formed in Mississippi that registers with Arizona files Form L025 with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Arizona to Mississippi

Does my Arizona company need to register in Mississippi?

How much does it cost to register an Arizona LLC in Mississippi?

$449 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $459 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Mississippi wants it ($10), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Mississippi?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Mississippi's report ($250).

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

An Arizona company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Mississippi can add a penalty of $10 a day, up to $1,000 a year.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Mississippi's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
