How Mississippi companies register with Utah

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

Your Mississippi name and Utah's rules

If Utah's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Mississippi company. We search Utah's records for Mississippi's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Utah agent and the Mississippi one

Mississippi and Utah both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Mississippi; ours takes Utah's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Utah and Mississippi

Each year your LLC files Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Mississippi plus Utah comes to $167 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Mississippi to Utah

A corporation formed in Mississippi files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Mississippi's Annual Report ($25) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Mississippi

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Mississippi files Form F0200 with $250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 180 days. See that filing.

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Utah

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Mississippi business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout plus $25 to Mississippi for the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, $283 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Utah?

$167 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Mississippi and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
