From New Jersey to Wyoming, step by step

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Wyoming accepts it within 60 days of New Jersey's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Wyoming registered agent, with your New Jersey name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New Jersey certificate comes first; then the Wyoming filing goes in. Once Wyoming approves it, the New Jersey company can do business there.
