AI Notice

Trajan is an AI assistant. Its answers are generated by a large language model (Claude, by Anthropic) that is instructed to answer only from an indexed library of the Mississippi Secretary of State’s published site — every division’s pages, the Fees & Forms Directory, official application forms and fee schedules, the laws and administrative rules the office posts, its FAQs and news, the executive orders on file, and snapshots of its online filing portals, and to cite the specific source behind every legal or factual claim.

What it can and cannot do

• It explains rules, permits, and procedures in plain language, with citations you can open.
• It cannot read your account, check a filing or refund, take a payment, or submit anything on your behalf — account-specific matters route to sos.ms.gov and the office’s own filing systems (corp.sos.ms.gov, charities.sos.ms.gov, the UCC portal, Y’all Vote).
• It can make mistakes. Verify anything consequential against the cited source, and treat nothing here as legal advice or as a ruling of the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office.
