From Vermont to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($35) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. An instant Vermont certificate reaches Mississippi only hours old, well inside the limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Vermont name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Vermont delays the Mississippi filing. Once Mississippi approves it, the Vermont company can do business there.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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