From Colorado to Mississippi, step by step
Order the Colorado certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Colorado separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. An instant Colorado certificate reaches Mississippi only hours old, well inside the limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your Colorado name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Colorado delays the Mississippi filing. After approval, your Colorado LLC is registered with Mississippi.

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

Each year your LLC files Colorado's Periodic Report ($25) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($250). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Colorado plus Mississippi comes to $424 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

The other way: Mississippi into Colorado
An LLC formed in Mississippi that registers with Colorado files Colorado's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees; no Mississippi certificate is needed. See that filing.
Common questions: Colorado to Mississippi
Does my Colorado company need to register in Mississippi?

How much does it cost to register a Colorado LLC in Mississippi?
$449 at checkout, plus Colorado's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.
Do I need Colorado's certificate of good standing?
Yes: Mississippi wants it (free), no more than 180 days old at filing.
What are the yearly costs for Colorado and Mississippi?
$424 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Colorado and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.
What if I don't register with Mississippi?
A Colorado 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 Colorado registered agent stays, and ours covers Mississippi for year one, with a street address there.
Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?
Yes, but Colorado keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Colorado's Periodic Report.
How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?
Colorado companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Mississippi's report stays due alongside Colorado's filings.
