How Rhode Island companies register with Mississippi

Order the Rhode Island certificate
The Certificate of Status / Certificate of Good Standing ($22) is ordered from Rhode Island separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. It comes as a short form ($22) or a long form ($30). With Rhode Island taking days and Mississippi counting 180 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Rhode Island name and formation date and the certificate attached. Allow for the days Rhode Island takes to send the certificate before the Mississippi filing goes in. After approval, your Rhode Island LLC is registered with Mississippi.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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