It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Connecticut name and formation date. If Wyoming wants the Connecticut certificate, it is ordered first. Once Wyoming approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.

Your Connecticut name and Wyoming's rules

We search Wyoming's records for Connecticut's name on file before anything is filed.

$359 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $150 to Connecticut and $60 to Wyoming for the yearly reports.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

Yes: the Connecticut registered agent stays, and ours covers Wyoming for year one.

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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