How New Hampshire companies register with Mississippi

Order the New Hampshire certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from New Hampshire separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. It comes as a short form ($5) or a long form ($10). Mississippi counts 180 days from the day New Hampshire issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your New Hampshire name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New Hampshire certificate comes first; then the Mississippi filing goes in. After approval, your New Hampshire LLC is registered with Mississippi.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

New Hampshire companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Mississippi's report stays due alongside New Hampshire's filings.
