How Wyoming companies register with Idaho

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

Will your Wyoming name work for Idaho?

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Wyoming company. We check your exact Wyoming name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the Wyoming one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Wyoming

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

LLC or corporation, Wyoming to Idaho

An LLC formed in Wyoming files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing (free)). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into Wyoming

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with Wyoming files Wyoming's registration (no form number) with $150 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Wyoming to Idaho

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Wyoming corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

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

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Wyoming's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Wyoming registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Wyoming name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Wyoming name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Wyoming companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Wyoming's filings.
