Your questions, answered

Will the state make me name a registered agent?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

Where the law says so: Miss. Code Ann. § 79-29-113. check it at sos.ms.gov, October 2026

Can anyone do it?

Any individual, corporation or LLC with a physical address in Mississippi. Agents that serve for hire register with the Secretary of State as commercial agents.

Qualify, and the job can be yours for free.

What will I pay an agent?

$99 to $149 per year, $297 to $447 over three years.

Whoever you name, state fees stay the same.

What's the agent's role?

When a lawsuit or state letter reaches your LLC in Mississippi, the agent is who receives it.

A good agent tells you promptly when something arrives, so no deadline slips by. Service of process in plain words

What's due each year apart from the agent?

Mostly the annual report, once a year, at no charge. The state's due date: April 15. Jot that down early.

check it at sos.ms.gov, October 2026

How did you decide the order?

It comes down to work taken off your hands, and Mainstay Filing is best at it.

Cost across three years (33%) and work taken off your hands (31%) matter most, and three lighter checks sit behind them.

Add a state later and the same agent and price tag along; Registered Agent MS.org ends at the Mississippi border.
