How Mississippi companies register with Idaho

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. An instant Mississippi certificate reaches Idaho only hours old, well inside the limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Mississippi issues the certificate instantly, so the Idaho filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Mississippi LLC is registered with Idaho.

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Idaho

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Mississippi business operates there; Idaho law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout plus $25 to Mississippi for the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, $327.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Idaho wants it ($25), no more than 90 days old at filing.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing; Mississippi's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Idaho?

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

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Mississippi registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Mississippi name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Mississippi name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement ($20); until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
