Louisiana LLC Foreign Registration in Mississippi

To do business in Mississippi, an LLC formed in Louisiana registers there on Form F0200, with $250 in state fees. Mississippi also wants Louisiana's Certificate of Good Standing ($25), dated within 180 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services from your Louisiana records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Louisiana companies register with Mississippi

Order the Louisiana certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Louisiana separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. Mississippi counts 180 days from the day Louisiana issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your Louisiana name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Louisiana certificate comes first; then the Mississippi filing goes in. Once Mississippi approves it, the Louisiana company can do business there.

Common questions: Louisiana to Mississippi

Does my Louisiana company need to register in Mississippi?

Yes, once a Louisiana 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 $25 to Louisiana for the Certificate of Good Standing, $474 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Louisiana's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Mississippi wants it ($25), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Louisiana and Mississippi?

$439 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $40 to Louisiana and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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