How registration works in Wyoming

  1. Stage 1

    Find out if you have to register

    Quick definition: a foreign LLC is one formed in a different state. Wyoming wants it registered before it operates here.

    Check it yourself: Verify it at wyoleg.gov, which we opened in October 2026

  2. Stage 2

    Collect the certificate from the state of formation

    Request original certificate of existence / good standing, issued within 60 days.

    Order this last so it is fresh when you file.

  3. Stage 3

    Name a registered agent for Wyoming

    Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a physical street address in Wyoming where the agent, or a person authorized by the agent, is present. Drop boxes, virtual addresses and mail-forwarding locations do not qualify; a P.O. box can be added only with a physical address.

    Every service we recommend includes the registered agent.

    Check it yourself: Verify it at wyoleg.gov, which we opened in October 2026

  4. Stage 4

    The paper to file is the Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Authority

    The form and the $150 fee travel together to the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division.

    Check it yourself: Verify it at sos.wyo.gov, which we opened in October 2026

  5. Stage 5

    Look ahead to the repeating filing

    Write down the annual report and license tax and its $60 fee (first day of your anniversary month).
