Bringing a foreign LLC into Mississippi
An outside LLC registers by sending the Application for Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company (Filing F0200) to the Mississippi Secretary of State, Business Services, with $250. Include certificate of good standing or existence, issued no more than 180 days.
It then keeps filing the Foreign LLC annual report ($250), April 15.

- Certificate of good standing or existence, at most 180 days.
- Home state record: legal name and formation date.
- A registered agent inside the state, included with each pick.
- Funds to cover the $250 state fee.
