Common questions: New Mexico to Wyoming

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Wyoming?

Is this a certificate of authority?

How much does the Wyoming registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Wyoming?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New Mexico's report ($25, every two years) and Wyoming's report ($60).

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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