Mississippi Foreign Registration / Yearly report

The Mississippi foreign LLC annual report

A foreign LLC registered in Mississippi files an annual report online each year, due April 15, and the fee is $250, where a Mississippi LLC pays nothing. A report that is more than 60 days late is a ground for revoking the registration.

What is the annual report?

The Act requires each domestic and each foreign LLC authorized in Mississippi to send in an annual report on a date the Secretary of State fixes. The date the office has published is April 15. The report keeps the public record current: who the agent is, where the principal office is and who manages the LLC.

What does the report ask?

The Act lists 7 things: the company name and home jurisdiction, the Mississippi registered agent name and street address, the principal office address, the managers (or at least one member if member-managed), the principal officers, whether there is a written operating agreement, and a short description of the business. Everything in it has to be accurate as of the signing date. If a report leaves something out, the office returns it for correction, and one corrected and delivered within 30 days after the notice takes effect still counts as on time.

Why does a foreign LLC pay and a Mississippi LLC not?

The fee schedules list the annual report of a Mississippi LLC at no fee and that of a foreign LLC at $250. The Secretary of State repeats the no-fee rule in its warning about look-alike mailers, but that rule is for LLCs formed in Mississippi. A foreign LLC reading the warning still owes its $250.

Filing online

The Secretary of State's annual report page says reports for corporations and LLCs are filed online. Have the file number, the agent's details and the names of the managers or the member on hand before you log in, since the report states each of them as of the day it is signed.

The first report after registering

The date to calendar is April 15 each year. When we send the filed registration back, a note of the report date goes with it, so the first one is on your calendar from day one.

What happens if you miss it?

The Secretary of State may start revoking the registration once the report is 60 days late. The office must give notice first, and the LLC has the 60 days before the effective date to cure. A revoked LLC stays out of Mississippi courts until reinstated, and reinstatement costs $100 on the schedules. The penalties page has the full account.

Mailers that look official

The Secretary of State has warned businesses, especially LLCs, about third-party mailers that urge annual report filing and ask for a fee. The office says these appear to be official correspondence, are not authorized by it, and that its own reminders come directly from the office. Read the fine print, and file the report yourself in the Secretary of State's system rather than through a mailer.

Nonprofits and corporations are different

Nonprofit corporations registered with the office file their own annual report, due on or before May 15. A foreign profit corporation files by April 15 like an LLC, for $25; the corporation page has the rest.

Changing the agent or name at report time

A change to the agent or office is its own filing, a statement of change at $10. A change to a fact on the original application, such as the LLC's name, is a certificate of amendment at $50. The report states current facts, so make those changes first.

A yearly checklist

Before April 15: confirm the agent and address are still right, confirm the managers or members, check whether an operating agreement exists in writing, write the one-line description of the business, and pay $250. After filing, keep the confirmation. If the LLC no longer works in Mississippi, cancelling the registration ends the reports; the cancellation page shows how.

Report questions

Is the report due on the anniversary of registration?

The date the office has published is April 15 for LLCs and corporations.

Can I file the report by mail?

No. Annual reports are filed online.

What does a late report risk?

Revocation, which the Secretary of State can begin once the report is 60 days overdue.

What if I forget and then file?

File the report and pay, and the revocation process stops if it has not completed.
