How Arizona companies register with Wyoming

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Wyoming registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date. If Wyoming wants the Arizona certificate, it is ordered first. Once Wyoming approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Will your Arizona name work for Wyoming?

We check your exact Arizona name against Wyoming's records before filing.

Your Wyoming agent and the Arizona one

Wyoming calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Wyoming papers come to us; Arizona's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Arizona

Each year your corporation files Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Arizona plus Wyoming comes to $254 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Wyoming

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Wyoming for year one.

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Wyoming's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Arizona's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Foreign Profit Corporation Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Wyoming's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
