How Wyoming companies register with Georgia

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It lists us as your Georgia registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date. No Wyoming paperwork holds up the Georgia filing. After approval, your Wyoming LLC is registered with Georgia.

Will your Wyoming name work for Georgia?

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Your Georgia agent and the Wyoming one

Wyoming and Georgia both call it a registered agent. Georgia papers come to us; Wyoming's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Georgia and Wyoming

Each year your LLC files Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44) and Georgia's Annual Registration ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Wyoming plus Georgia comes to $270.44 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

No, Georgia takes Form CD 241 without it.

What if I don't register with Georgia?

A Wyoming company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

Yes: the Wyoming registered agent stays, and ours covers Georgia for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Wyoming companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Wyoming's filings.
