How registration works in Wyoming

  1. Move 1

    Do you have to register?

    LLCs from other states file a foreign registration to transact business in Wyoming.

    Where this comes from: Check it yourself at wyoleg.gov; we read it in October 2026

  2. Move 2

    Obtain what your home state issues

    The filing needs original certificate of existence / good standing, no older than 60 days.

    Leave this for just before you file.

  3. Move 3

    Get a registered agent with a Wyoming address

    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.

    Each pick includes the registered agent.

    Where this comes from: Check it yourself at wyoleg.gov; we read it in October 2026

  4. Move 4

    Submit the Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Authority

    The registration is the Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Authority (FLLC-CertificateAuthority) plus $150, addressed to the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division.

    Where this comes from: Check it yourself at sos.wyo.gov; we read it in October 2026

  5. Move 5

    Look at the recurring filing

    Next up: the annual report and license tax, $60, first day of your anniversary month.

What you will pay

Item Pay to Figure
Registration fee The state $150
Annual report and license tax The state $60
Filing service (optional) The service $199 to begin
