What you get with a Mississippi lookup
- Mississippi SOS entity record — name, status, entity type, formation date, registered agent + address, principal office, and officers/managers where the state exposes them.
- USDOT / FMCSA carrier verification — for trucking deals, we pull the carrier's authority status, MC#, fleet size and MCS-150 history, plus the FMCSA SAFER snapshot. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
- OFAC SDN screening — optional: add it to your search to check the company name against the Treasury sanctions list.
- DBA / Fictitious Name finder — a separate tool that points you to the county/town clerk's own search (or the statewide registry) where a DBA is filed in Mississippi.
- One merged PDF — cover sheet + SOS record + USDOT snapshot + supporting docs, all in a credit-file-ready packet.
How Mississippi files business entities
Mississippi's business registry lives at corp.sos.ms.gov — confusingly distinct from sos.ms.gov, which is just the informational landing page. The corporate portal is Akamai-protected and rejects data-center traffic with a 403.

How DBAs work in Mississippi
Mississippi files Fictitious Business Names at the state SOS — there is no county-level DBA registry. Sole-proprietor DBAs use the same statewide system. Note that some sources confuse the Fictitious Name filing with assumed-name filings made at the county Chancery Clerk for unrelated purposes; the SOS filing is the one that matters for business verification.
Credit-underwriting gotchas in Mississippi
Mississippi LLCs pay NO annual report fee but must file an annual report online by April 15. Missing the report triggers 'Administratively Dissolved' status; reinstatement requires filing all missed reports plus a $50 reinstatement fee. Mississippi corporations owe an annual franchise tax with a $25 minimum, billed separately by the Department of Revenue.
Practical Mississippi reference
Filing fees: $50 LLC formation fee + $0 annual report (free, but filing required by April 15)
Officer visibility: Officers, members, and registered agents are visible on the public detail page once the Akamai gate clears. Filed documents are downloadable as PDFs.
