The primer, move by move

  1. Move 1

    The Wyoming rule, short

    Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

    Where this comes from: Per wyoleg.gov, as of October 2026

  2. Move 2

    Who is allowed to act

    A Wyoming resident 18 or older whose business office is the registered office, a business entity with an agency agreement with an individual who accepts service there, or a commercial registered agent (one acting for more than ten companies). The rule is in W.S. § 17-28-101.

  3. Move 3

    Use an address that qualifies

    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.

    With a service, the public record shows its address, not yours.

  4. Move 4

    Who will it be

    An eligible owner may serve. Otherwise our recommended agents run $99 to $149 a year.

  5. Move 5

    List the agent publicly

    The Limited Liability Company Articles of Organization carries the agent's name and address. the Wyoming Secretary of State also takes change filings from LLCs that swap agents.

    Where this comes from: Per wyobiz.wyo.gov, as of October 2026

  6. Move 6

    Keep the record current

    Anything the state sends about the annual report goes to your registered agent. The filing costs $60 every year, due first day of the LLC's anniversary month.

    Where this comes from: Per wyobiz.wyo.gov, as of August 2026
