What the Wyoming filing asks for

For the filing, Wyoming needs:

• The exact name of your LLC as formed
• The state it was formed in and its date of formation
• A Wyoming registered agent with a street address there; we fill in ours
• A principal office address
• A certificate of good standing from the home state, no older than 60 days when Wyoming receives it

LLC into Wyoming, by home state

The first-year total adds the home state's certificate fee to the $349 checkout total; the certificate is ordered from that state.

When Wyoming expects an LLC to register

Wyoming law lists 11 activities that do not, on their own, count as doing business in Wyoming. A one-off transaction completed within 30 days, and not one of a series, does not count either. An office, staff, or regular sales and contracts there are what typically lead to registration.

If you do business in Wyoming without registering

Wyoming penalties for unregistered business: $5,000. The Wyoming attorney general can ask a court to stop the LLC doing business there until it registers.

Wyoming registered agent rule

Wyoming requires every registered foreign LLC to keep a registered agent there. Our $199 includes the first year of Wyoming registered agent service, then $149 a year.

Wyoming yearly filings

Once registered, your LLC files the Wyoming Annual Report every year, at $60, due first day of the foreign LLC's anniversary month of WY registration. The Wyoming filing window opens 120 days before the due date and closes first day of the anniversary month. From year two, keeping the Wyoming registration costs $209 a year with our registered agent service.

How long Wyoming takes

We file it with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Wyoming standard processing: up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt.

Leaving Wyoming later

If your LLC stops doing business there, it ends the registration by filing a Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Withdrawal. Until that is filed, Wyoming's yearly filing stays due.
