From Wyoming to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form 40
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date. If New Hampshire wants the Wyoming certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Wyoming corporation is registered with New Hampshire.

Your Wyoming name and New Hampshire's rules

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Wyoming one

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

A Wyoming company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire corporation instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

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