How Georgia companies register with Mississippi

Order the Georgia certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Georgia separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. An instant Georgia certificate reaches Mississippi only hours old, well inside the limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Georgia name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Georgia delays the Mississippi filing. Once Mississippi approves it, the Georgia company can do business there.

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

$459 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $60 to Georgia and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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