How Connecticut companies register with Mississippi

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Mississippi accepts it within 180 days of Connecticut's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Connecticut name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Connecticut certificate comes first; then the Mississippi filing goes in. Once Mississippi approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.

How much does it cost to register a Connecticut LLC in Mississippi?

$449 at checkout plus $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $499 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

$479 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $80 to Connecticut and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

A Connecticut 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 Connecticut 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 Connecticut keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Connecticut's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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