From Virginia to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Virginia certificate
The Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration ($6) is ordered from Virginia separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. Ordered from Virginia 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 Virginia name and formation date and the certificate attached. Virginia issues the certificate instantly, so the Mississippi filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Virginia LLC is registered with Mississippi.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

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