How Wyoming companies register with Utah

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our Utah order. An instant Wyoming certificate reaches Utah only hours old, well inside the limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Utah registered agent, next to your Wyoming name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Wyoming issues the certificate instantly, so the Utah filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Wyoming LLC is registered with Utah.

Your Wyoming name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the Wyoming name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Wyoming name against Utah's records before filing.

Agents: Utah and Wyoming

Wyoming and Utah both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wyoming; ours takes Utah's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Utah and Wyoming

Each year your LLC files Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Wyoming plus Utah comes to $228.44 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Wyoming to Utah

A corporation formed in Wyoming files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($60) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Wyoming

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Wyoming files Wyoming's registration (no form number) with $150 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Wyoming owners ask about Utah

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Wyoming business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout, plus Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Wyoming's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants it (free), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Utah?

$228.44 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $61.44 to Wyoming and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Wyoming name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Wyoming name at home.

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Wyoming keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Wyoming's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Wyoming companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Wyoming's filings.
