Michigan LLC Foreign Registration in Mississippi

To do business in Mississippi, an LLC formed in Michigan registers there on Form F0200, with $250 in state fees. Mississippi also wants Michigan's Certificate of Good Standing ($10), dated within 180 days.

How Michigan companies register with Mississippi

Order the Michigan certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Michigan separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. Mississippi accepts it within 180 days of Michigan's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Michigan name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Michigan's certificate is in hand, Mississippi's filing goes in. Once Mississippi approves it, the Michigan company can do business there.

Your Michigan name and Mississippi's rules

We check your exact Michigan name against Mississippi's records before filing.

Your Mississippi agent and the Michigan one

Mississippi calls it a registered agent; Michigan says resident agent. Your current resident agent stays for Michigan; ours takes Mississippi's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Mississippi and Michigan

Each year your LLC files Michigan's Annual Statement ($25) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($250). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Michigan plus Mississippi comes to $424 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Michigan to Mississippi

A corporation formed in Michigan files Form F0002 with Mississippi ($500 in state fees). After that come Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Mississippi into Michigan

An LLC formed in Mississippi that registers with Michigan files Form CSCL/CD 760 with $50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Questions Michigan owners ask about Mississippi

Does my Michigan company need to register in Mississippi?

Yes, once a Michigan 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 $10 to Michigan for the Certificate of Good Standing, $459 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Michigan's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Mississippi wants it ($10), no more than 180 days old at filing.

$424 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Michigan and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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