From New York to Wyoming, step by step

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. New York mails it, and Wyoming counts the 60 days from issue, so it is ordered with transit in mind.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Wyoming registered agent, with your New York name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New York certificate takes days to arrive, so the Wyoming filing waits for it. After approval, your New York LLC is registered with Wyoming.
