Texas LLC Foreign Registration in Wyoming

Wyoming registers an LLC from Texas as a foreign LLC on a registration (no form number), with $150 in state fees. Wyoming also asks for Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Division from your Texas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Texas to Wyoming, step by step

Order the Texas certificate
The Certificate of Fact - Status ($15) is ordered from Texas separately; it is not part of our Wyoming order. Ordered from Texas on filing day, it easily meets Wyoming's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Texas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Texas issues the certificate instantly, so the Wyoming filing can go in the same day. Once Wyoming approves it, the Texas company can do business there.

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

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Texas

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; Wyoming wants the Annual Report every year ($60). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Wyoming

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

Registering a Wyoming company in Texas

Questions Texas owners ask about Wyoming

Does my Texas company need to register in Wyoming?

How much does the Wyoming registration cost?

$349 at checkout plus $15 to Texas for the Certificate of Fact - Status, $364 in all (checkout is $150 in state fees plus our $199).

Yes: Wyoming wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), 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; Texas's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and Wyoming's report ($60).

What if I don't register with Wyoming?

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

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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