From Wyoming to New York, step by step

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our New York order. Ordered from Wyoming on filing day, it easily meets New York's limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Wyoming delays the New York filing. Once New York approves it, the Wyoming company can do business there.
