From Minnesota to Wyoming, step by step

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

Will your Minnesota name work for Wyoming?

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

Your Wyoming agent and the Minnesota one

Minnesota and Wyoming both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Minnesota; ours takes Wyoming's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Minnesota

Each year your corporation files Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Minnesota plus Wyoming comes to $209 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Minnesota to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Minnesota files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5)). After that come Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Wyoming company in Minnesota

A corporation formed in Wyoming that registers with Minnesota files Minnesota's registration (no form number) with $220 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Minnesota to Wyoming

Does my Minnesota company need to register in Wyoming?

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Minnesota corporation in Wyoming?

$349 at checkout; Wyoming may also want Minnesota's Certificate of Good Standing, 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 Minnesota's certificate if Wyoming asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Minnesota and Wyoming?

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

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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