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, MCS-150 history, and BASIC scores. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
- OFAC SDN screening — every search runs the company name against the Treasury sanctions list. Clear-result PDFs are signed.
- DBA / Fictitious Name registries — surfaces the county/town clerk where this entity would file a DBA in Mississippi, plus the statewide registry when one exists.
- 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.

VerifySOS pulls the Mississippi SOS record for you automatically — no manual lookup, no PDF upload. MS sits behind a slower portal (or a captcha we solve on your behalf), so results typically land in under a minute rather than instantly. USDOT, OFAC, and county DBA lookups run automatically alongside it.
