Registered Agent Services in Mississippi (MS)

When you start the process of establishing a new business in Mississippi, you will be asked to designate what is known as a “registered agent.” A registered agent is someone you choose to be responsible for receiving any notices or legal documents that the State of Mississippi may send to your company. These files are known as “service of process” and can include company tax documentation, legal records, or notices of upcoming filing deadlines. In other words, the individual or company you designate as your registered agent will be responsible for handling some of your company’s most important documents.

Limited Liability Companies

Limited liability companies (LLC) operating in Mississippi can either be “domestic” or “foreign” LLCs. Domestic LLCs are companies that filed their Articles of Organization with the Michigan state government; foreign corporations are companies that filed their Articles in another state but are doing business in Mississippi.

Domestic: The names of all domestic LLCs must contain the phrase “Limited Liability Company”, “LLC” or “L.L.C.” Create your Articles of Organization (also referred to in Mississippi as a Certificate of Formation) and send it to the Mississippi Secretary of State. Make sure all signatures are in black ink. Also submit a $25 check to cover the filing fee.

Foreign: The names of all foreign LLCs must also contain the phrase “limited liability company,” “L.L.C.,” or “LLC.” Complete your Application for Registration of a Foreign LLC and send one original and one copy to the Secretary of State. Make sure all signatures are in black ink. Also provide an original of your completed Application for Appointment of Registered Agent. The Secretary charges a $250 filing fee for the Application for Registration and a $25 filing fee for the Application for Appointment of Registered Agent.

Corporations

Like LLCs, all corporations operating in Mississippi are either “domestic” or “foreign” companies. Domestic corporations are companies that filed their Articles of Incorporation with the Michigan state government; foreign corporations are companies that filed their Articles in another state but are doing business in Mississippi.

Create your Articles of Incorporation and send two copies to the Secretary of State, along with a $50 check to cover the filing fee. The Secretary will file one copy and return the second to you with an official stamp.
