Mississippi LLC Foreign Registration in Hawaii

To do business in Hawaii, an LLC formed in Mississippi registers there on Form FLLC-1, with $51 in state fees. Hawaii also asks for Mississippi's Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division from your Mississippi records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Mississippi companies register with Hawaii

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our Hawaii order. Ordered from Mississippi on filing day, it easily meets Hawaii's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your Hawaii registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Mississippi issues the certificate instantly, so the Hawaii filing can go in the same day. Once Hawaii approves it, the Mississippi company can do business there.

Your Hawaii agent and the Mississippi one

Mississippi and Hawaii both call it a registered agent. Hawaii papers come to us; Mississippi's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Hawaii and Mississippi

Each year your LLC files Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee) and Hawaii's Foreign Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C6) ($15). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Mississippi plus Hawaii comes to $164 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

The other way: Hawaii into Mississippi

An LLC formed in Hawaii that registers with Mississippi files Form F0200 with $250 in state fees, plus the Good Standing Certificate ($5) dated within 180 days. See that filing.

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Hawaii

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Hawaii?

Yes, once a Mississippi business operates there; Hawaii registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Hawaii registration cost?

$250 at checkout plus $25 to Mississippi for the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, $275 in all (checkout is $51 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Hawaii wants it ($25), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Hawaii?

$164 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Mississippi and $15 to Hawaii for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Hawaii?

A Mississippi company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Hawaii require a registered agent?

Yes: the Mississippi registered agent stays, and ours covers Hawaii for year one.

Can I form a new Hawaii LLC instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Hawaii later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing Form FLLC-2; until then, Hawaii's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
