From Wyoming to Pennsylvania, step by step

We prepare and file Form DSCB:15-412
It names us as your Pennsylvania registered office, with your Wyoming name and formation date. No Wyoming paperwork holds up the Pennsylvania filing. After approval, your Wyoming LLC is registered with Pennsylvania.

Will your Wyoming name work for Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania accepts your Wyoming name if it includes the term company, limited or limited liability company, an abbreviation of one of those terms, or words of like import used in the home state. We check your exact Wyoming name against Pennsylvania's records before filing.

Agents: Pennsylvania and Wyoming

Pennsylvania calls it a registered office; Wyoming says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wyoming; ours takes Pennsylvania's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Pennsylvania and Wyoming

Each year your LLC files Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44) and Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7). With our $149 registered office renewal, Wyoming plus Pennsylvania comes to $217.44 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Wyoming to Pennsylvania

A corporation formed in Wyoming files Form DSCB:15-412 with Pennsylvania ($250 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($60) and Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Pennsylvania into Wyoming

An LLC formed in Pennsylvania that registers with Wyoming files Wyoming's registration (no form number) with $150 in state fees, plus the Subsistence Certificate ($40) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

What if I don't register with Pennsylvania?

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

Does Pennsylvania require a registered agent?

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

Will Pennsylvania accept my Wyoming name?

Yes, if no company there already uses it and it includes the term company, limited or limited liability company, an abbreviation of one of those terms, or words of like import used in the home state.

Can I form a new Pennsylvania LLC instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7), and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Pennsylvania later?

Wyoming companies leave by filing a Statement of Withdrawal of Foreign Registration; until then, Pennsylvania's report stays due alongside Wyoming's filings.
