Mississippi LLC status check

What keeps a Mississippi LLC or corporation in good standing, what happens if a filing is missed, and how to check your status yourself. Taken from the official rules published by Mississippi Secretary of State, Business Services Division.

Check your Mississippi status

On the state’s own site: open the official business search (Mississippi Secretary of State, Business Services Division). Search your exact registered name and read the status field.

The way a lender sees it: a lender’s system doesn’t just read your status — it matches your exact legal name, your filing, your domain and your email against each other. Run the same checks below.

State fee	$0 for a domestic (Mississippi) LLC when filed online on the SOS site ($250 for a foreign LLC).	$25

The domestic LLC annual report is free; the SOS warns that third-party mailers ask for fees. Mississippi corporate franchise tax is handled by the Dept. of Revenue and was not verified here, so the franchise-tax field is null.

Missed it? What happens, and how to fix it

If a filing is missed

No late fee is listed. SOS: failure to file may result in administrative dissolution, and corporations that fail to file will be administratively dissolved. No timeline is officially stated on the pages reviewed.

Getting back in good standing

LLC: Reinstatement; Corporation: Application for Reinstatement Following Administrative Dissolution — state fee $50 (domestic LLC or domestic profit corporation); $100 for foreign entities. Per the SOS 'Services & Fees' document (revised October 2024).

Why lenders check this before anyone reads your application

An automated know-your-business check compares what you put on an application against the state’s record. A status that isn’t active and in good standing, or a legal name that differs from your filing by a comma or a suffix, is a common silent reason for a decline.

Fixing your status costs nothing beyond the state’s own fees; you don’t need to pay anyone to do it for you.
