From Washington to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Washington certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($20) is ordered from Washington separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. An instant Washington 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 Washington name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Washington delays the Mississippi filing. Once Mississippi approves it, the Washington company can do business there.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

Yes: the Washington registered agent stays, and ours covers Mississippi for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

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