How North Dakota companies register with Wyoming

Order the North Dakota certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from North Dakota separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. Wyoming counts 60 days from the day North Dakota issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Wyoming registered agent, with your North Dakota name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once North Dakota's certificate is in hand, Wyoming's filing goes in. After approval, your North Dakota LLC is registered with Wyoming.
