How New Jersey companies register with Mississippi

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Mississippi counts 180 days from the day New Jersey issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It lists us as your Mississippi registered agent, next to your New Jersey name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New Jersey certificate comes first; then the Mississippi filing goes in. After approval, your New Jersey LLC is registered with Mississippi.
