How to reinstate a Mississippi corporation:
Mississippi corporations can reinstate at any time following administrative dissolution. If you want to continue your Mississippi corporation, you have to file form F0022-Application for Reinstatement following Administrative Dissolution/Revocation with the Mississippi Secretary of State (SOS). Include all your delinquent annual reports and fees. You would also have to include certification that the corporation has paid all taxes from the Mississippi Department of Revenue (formerly the Mississippi State Tax Commission). Your check for fees should be payable to the "Secretary of State."
Submit your application for reinstatement, tax certification, and fees by mail or in person to:
Office of the Mississippi Secretary of State

P.O. Box 136
Jackson, MS 39205-0136

Do I need Mississippi Department of Revenue Tax Certification to Reinstate my Mississippi corporation?

How much will it cost to renew a Mississippi corporation?
The filing fee to reinstate your domestic Mississippi corporation is $50.
How long does it take the state to process the filing?
Mississippi SOS takes 24-48 hours to process your documents.
Mississippi SOS does not offer expedited processing.
You can cut out mail time by filing in person, but it will still take the SOS 24-48 hours to process your documents.
Once your documents are filed, you can view them online by going to the SOS Business Services Formation and Search webpage and clicking the "Search Listings" link. Then you can search for your business name, ID, officers or registered agent to see the corporations filed documents.
How long does your Mississippi corporation have to be inactive with the state before you wouldn't have any fees, and would just have to start over with a new Mississippi corporation?
Corporations can pay the fees and apply for reinstatement at any time after the effective date of the administrative dissolution.
If you do not want to reinstate your Mississippi corporation, you don't have to. You can avoid paying the reinstatement fees by simply creating a new Mississippi corporation.

The filing fee for new Mississippi articles of incorporation is $50.
