How Mississippi companies register with Washington

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our Washington order. An instant Mississippi certificate reaches Washington only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Washington registered agent, with your Mississippi name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Mississippi delays the Washington filing. After approval, your Mississippi LLC is registered with Washington.
