Mississippi Business Entity Search

How to Search Mississippi's Register

The official search is the state's “Business Search” page, on corp.sos.ms.gov. We have not confirmed whether the state charges to search, so check the search page itself. Open the official search.

On the main search page you can search by:

• Entity name
• Entity or filing number
• Officer or principal
• Registered agent or registered office

What a Search Result Shows

We have not confirmed what a Mississippi search result shows; check the search page.

What Each Mississippi Status Means

The status is the label the register puts on each entity. Where the state defines a label, the meaning below restates that definition, with a link to the state page it comes from. Where it does not, we do not guess from the word, because the same word can mean different things in different states.

We have not confirmed which status labels Mississippi's register uses; check the search page for an entity's status and what it means.

If the search shows that your own LLC was dissolved, see how to reinstate an LLC in Mississippi.

A search result is not a certificate of good standing. If a bank or another state asks for one, see how to get a Mississippi certificate of good standing.

Viewing and Ordering Documents

Filed documents can be viewed online. We have not confirmed whether viewing them is free.

We have not confirmed what copies or certified copies cost; check the search page or the filing office's fee schedule. Order copies from the state.

Is the Name Available?

We have not confirmed how Mississippi wants you to check whether a name is available.

We have not confirmed whether Mississippi requires a name reservation before you file. A name reservation costs $25.00.

Our free LLC name checker looks up domain and social media handle availability for a name. It does not search Mississippi's register, so check the state's search as well.
