Wyoming LLC Foreign Registration in Hawaii

Hawaii registers an LLC from Wyoming as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $51 in state fees. Hawaii also wants Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing (free), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division using your Wyoming records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Wyoming companies register with Hawaii

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our Hawaii order. An instant Wyoming certificate reaches Hawaii only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your Hawaii registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Wyoming issues the certificate instantly, so the Hawaii filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Wyoming LLC is registered with Hawaii.

Common questions: Wyoming to Hawaii

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Hawaii?

Yes, once a Wyoming business operates there; Hawaii registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Hawaii registration cost?

$250 at checkout, plus Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Wyoming's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Hawaii wants it (free), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Hawaii?

$225.44 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $61.44 to Wyoming and $15 to Hawaii for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Hawaii?

A Wyoming company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Hawaii require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Hawaii LLC instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50), and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Hawaii later?

Wyoming companies leave by filing Form FLLC-2; until then, Hawaii's report stays due alongside Wyoming's filings.
