Maryland LLC Foreign Registration in Mississippi

Mississippi registers an LLC from Maryland as a foreign LLC on Form F0200, with $250 in state fees. Mississippi also wants Maryland's Certificate of Status ($20), dated within 180 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services from your Maryland records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Maryland companies register with Mississippi

Order the Maryland certificate
The Certificate of Status ($20) is ordered from Maryland separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. Ordered from Maryland on filing day, it easily meets Mississippi's limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Maryland name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Maryland delays the Mississippi filing. After approval, your Maryland LLC is registered with Mississippi.

Your Mississippi agent and the Maryland one

Mississippi calls it a registered agent; Maryland says resident agent. Mississippi papers come to us; Maryland's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Maryland and Mississippi

Each year your LLC files Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) ($300) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($250). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Maryland plus Mississippi comes to $699 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Maryland to Mississippi

A corporation formed in Maryland files Form F0002 with Mississippi ($500 in state fees). After that come Maryland's periodic report ($300) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Mississippi into Maryland

An LLC formed in Mississippi that registers with Maryland files Maryland's registration (no form number) with $104.50 in state fees and a $50 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

A Maryland 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 Maryland resident agent stays, and ours covers Mississippi for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?

Yes, but Maryland keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1).

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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