How Utah companies register with Mississippi

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Ordered from Utah on filing day, it easily meets Mississippi's limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Utah name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Utah delays the Mississippi filing. Once Mississippi approves it, the Utah company can do business there.

Common questions: Utah to Mississippi

Does my Utah company need to register in Mississippi?

$449 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $461 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

$417 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $18 to Utah and $250 to Mississippi for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

A Utah company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Mississippi can add a penalty of $10 a day, up to $1,000 a year.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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