How Mississippi companies register with Connecticut

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. An instant Mississippi certificate reaches Connecticut only hours old, well inside the limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Connecticut registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Mississippi delays the Connecticut filing. After approval, your Mississippi LLC is registered with Connecticut.

Does Connecticut require a registered agent?

How do I withdraw from Connecticut later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (no state fee); until then, Connecticut's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
