How Colorado companies register with Wyoming

Order the Colorado certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Colorado separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. An instant Colorado 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 Colorado name and formation date and the certificate attached. Colorado issues the certificate instantly, so the Wyoming filing can go in the same day. Once Wyoming approves it, the Colorado company can do business there.
