From Delaware to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Delaware certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($50) is ordered from Delaware separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($175). Mail time from Delaware counts against Mississippi's limit of 180 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your Delaware name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Delaware certificate takes days to arrive, so the Mississippi filing waits for it. After approval, your Delaware LLC is registered with Mississippi.

Questions Delaware owners ask about Mississippi

Does my Delaware company need to register in Mississippi?

Yes, once a Delaware business operates there; Mississippi law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Mississippi registration cost?

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

Do I need Delaware's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Mississippi wants it ($50), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Delaware and Mississippi?

$799 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $400 to Delaware and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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