How Idaho companies register with Wyoming

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Wyoming registered agent, with your Idaho name and formation date. If Wyoming wants the Idaho certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Idaho corporation is registered with Wyoming.

Your Idaho name and Wyoming's rules

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

Agents: Wyoming and Idaho

Idaho and Wyoming both call it a registered agent. Wyoming papers come to us; Idaho's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Idaho

Each year your corporation files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Wyoming comes to $209 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Idaho files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Wyoming company in Idaho

Common questions: Idaho to Wyoming

Does my Idaho company need to register in Wyoming?

Yes, once an Idaho business operates there; Wyoming registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Wyoming issues one to Idaho corporations once the filing is approved.

How much does the Wyoming registration cost?

$349 at checkout; Wyoming may also want Idaho's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Wyoming registration take?

Wyoming's standard processing takes up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt, plus time for Idaho's certificate if Wyoming asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Wyoming?

$209 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Idaho and $60 to Wyoming for the yearly reports.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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