From Mississippi to Wyoming, 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 Wyoming order. Ordered from Mississippi on filing day, it easily meets Wyoming's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Mississippi issues the certificate instantly, so the Wyoming filing can go in the same day. Once Wyoming approves it, the Mississippi company can do business there.
