Mississippi LLC Foreign Registration in Virginia

Virginia registers an LLC from Mississippi as a foreign LLC on Form LLC1052, with $100 in state fees. Virginia also wants Mississippi's Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25), dated within one year. We file it with the State Corporation Commission, Office of the Clerk from your Mississippi records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Mississippi to Virginia, step by step

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our Virginia order. Ordered from Mississippi on filing day, it easily meets Virginia's limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form LLC1052
It lists us as your Virginia registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Mississippi issues the certificate instantly, so the Virginia filing can go in the same day. Once Virginia approves it, the Mississippi company can do business there.

Common questions: Mississippi to Virginia

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Virginia?

How much does it cost to register a Mississippi LLC in Virginia?

$299 at checkout plus $25 to Mississippi for the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, $324 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Virginia wants it ($25), no more than one year old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Virginia?

$199 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Mississippi and $50 to Virginia for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Virginia?

A Mississippi company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Virginia can add a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Virginia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Virginia LLC instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Virginia later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Virginia's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
