From Missouri to Wyoming, step by step

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

Will your Missouri name work for Wyoming?

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

Your Wyoming agent and the Missouri one

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

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Missouri

Missouri wants the Corporate Registration Report every two years ($15); Wyoming wants the Annual Report every year ($60). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Missouri to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Missouri files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10)). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Wyoming into Missouri

A corporation formed in Wyoming that registers with Missouri files Form Corp 42 with $155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing (free) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Missouri owners ask about Wyoming

Does my Missouri company need to register in Wyoming?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Wyoming registration cost?

$349 at checkout; Wyoming may also want Missouri'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 Missouri's certificate if Wyoming asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Wyoming?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Missouri's report ($15, every two years) and Wyoming's report ($60).

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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