How a Wyoming agent is set up

  1. Procedure 1: State the Wyoming requirement

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

    Specimen: Reference wyoleg.gov, October 2026

  2. Procedure 2: Who can take the role

    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). (W.S. § 17-28-101)

  3. Procedure 3: Use a qualifying office 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.

    TipWith a service, the record shows its address instead of the owner's.

  4. Procedure 4: Self-service or a professional agent

    Serving personally is possible if the tests are met. A professional from the ranking costs $99 to $149 per year.

  5. Procedure 5: Record the agent with the state

    The agent of a new LLC is named in the Limited Liability Company Articles of Organization, filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State. An existing LLC that changes agents files an amendment at the same office.

    Specimen: Reference wyobiz.wyo.gov, October 2026

  6. Procedure 6: Maintain accurate details

    Filing the annual report on time ($60, first day of the LLC's anniversary month) keeps the agent record accurate.
