The Wyoming registration, in sequence

  1. Procedure 1: Is Wyoming registration required?

    When an out-of-state LLC does business in Wyoming, it first registers as a foreign LLC.

    Specimen: Logged against wyoleg.gov in October 2026

  2. Procedure 2: Order the certificate from the home state

    The filing includes original certificate of existence / good standing, issued within 60 days.

    TipRequest it close to the filing date.

  3. Procedure 3: Name the Wyoming registered agent

    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.

    TipThe services above supply one.
