How Minnesota companies register with Wyoming

Order the Minnesota certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from Minnesota separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. An instant Minnesota 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 Minnesota name and formation date and the certificate attached. Minnesota issues the certificate instantly, so the Wyoming filing can go in the same day. Once Wyoming approves it, the Minnesota company can do business there.

Your Wyoming agent and the Minnesota one

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

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Minnesota

Each year your LLC files Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Minnesota plus Wyoming comes to $209 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Minnesota to Wyoming

A corporation formed in Minnesota files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same). After that come Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Wyoming company in Minnesota

An LLC formed in Wyoming that registers with Minnesota files Minnesota's registration (no form number) with $205 in state fees; no Wyoming certificate is needed. See that filing.

How much does it cost to register a Minnesota LLC in Wyoming?

$349 at checkout plus $5 to Minnesota for the Certificate of Good Standing, $354 in all (checkout is $150 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Minnesota's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Wyoming wants it ($5), no more than 60 days old at filing.

How long does the Wyoming registration take?

Wyoming's standard processing takes up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt; Minnesota's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

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

What if I don't register with Wyoming?

Wyoming can charge a Minnesota company a penalty of $5,000.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming LLC instead?

Yes, but Minnesota keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44), and the original keeps Minnesota's Annual Renewal.

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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