What is a Mississippi registered agent?
Businesses that register as legal entities are required by law in all 50 states to have a registered agent, resident agent, or statutory agent. A Mississippi registered agent is the designated recipient of service of process (SOP) when a business entity faces legal action, and receives official legal documents from the state regarding the company's operation within Mississippi. A Mississippi business must identify its registered agent in its articles of incorporation or organization.
Why are registered agents required for Mississippi businesses?
Having a registered agent is a requirement for Mississippi corporations and LLCs, and the same requirement generally extends to limited partnerships, LLPs, LLLPs, nonprofit corporations, professional entities, and other businesses formed or registered by filing with the state. The agent must be located and available at a physical street address within Mississippi during normal business hours — a mailbox service or P.O. Box cannot represent you. Failing to establish and maintain a registered agent can jeopardize your company's legal status in the state and lead to unnecessary expense.

The law behind it
Mississippi's registered-agent framework, quoted directly from the state code.
Miss. Code § 79-35-5 The Mississippi Registered Agents Act (Miss. Code Title 79, ch. 35) — Corporations & LLCs
“(a) A registered agent filing must state: (1) The name of the represented entity's commercial registered agent; or (2) If the entity does not have a commercial registered agent, the name, address and email address of the entity's noncommercial registered agent.

Miss. Code § 79-4-2.02 Mississippi Business Corporation Act (Miss. Code Title 79, ch. 4) — Corporations
“(a) The articles of incorporation must set forth: [...] (3) The street address of the corporation's initial registered office and the name of its initial registered agent at that office; and (4) The name and address of each incorporator.”
Miss. Code § 79-29-201 Revised Mississippi Limited Liability Company Act (Miss. Code Title 79, ch. 29) — LLCs
“(1) In order to form a limited liability company, a certificate of formation must be signed and delivered to the Office of the Secretary of State.

Switching your Mississippi registered agent
Mississippi charges a fee to change an existing entity's registered agent — and InCorp covers it when you switch to us. The state's fee, and what you actually pay:
| Entity Type | State Agent-Change Fee | What You Pay with InCorp |
|---|---|---|
| All entity types | $12.26 | $0 |
State fees are set by state law and are never discounted. Amounts shown are what the state collects with a change-of-agent filing - in some states that includes an online payment-processing fee or required extras such as certified copies or county recording.
InCorp covers the state agent-change fee when you switch to us, in most cases — confirmed before you order.
