From Wyoming to Missouri, step by step

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. An instant Wyoming certificate reaches Missouri only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It lists us as your Missouri registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Wyoming issues the certificate instantly, so the Missouri filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Wyoming LLC is registered with Missouri.

Questions Wyoming owners ask about Missouri

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once a Wyoming business operates there; Missouri law lists 7 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Missouri registration cost?

$304 at checkout, plus Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Wyoming's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Wyoming's report ($61.44) and no Missouri yearly report.

What if I don't register with Missouri?

A Wyoming company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Missouri yearly report, and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Wyoming companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Wyoming's filings stay in place.
