How Michigan companies register with Wyoming

Order the Michigan certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Michigan separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. Wyoming counts 60 days from the day Michigan issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Michigan name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Michigan's certificate is in hand, Wyoming's filing goes in. After approval, your Michigan LLC is registered with Wyoming.
