How Alabama companies register with Wyoming

Order the Alabama certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Alabama separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. An instant Alabama certificate reaches Wyoming only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Wyoming registered agent, with your Alabama name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Alabama delays the Wyoming filing. Once Wyoming approves it, the Alabama company can do business there.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

Can I form a new Wyoming LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

Alabama companies leave by filing a Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Wyoming's report stays due alongside Alabama's filings.
