From Florida to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Florida certificate
The Certificate of Status ($5) is ordered from Florida separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. An instant Florida 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 Florida name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Florida issues the certificate instantly, so the Mississippi filing can go in the same day. Once Mississippi approves it, the Florida company can do business there.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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