Step-by-step lesson

  1. Step 1: Check that registration applies

    The rule: an LLC from another state registers before doing business in Wyoming.

    Official source: Per wyoleg.gov, last confirmed October 2026

  2. Step 2: Order a certificate from your home state

    The filing needs original certificate of existence / good standing, at most 60 days.

    TipOrder it once the rest of the filing is ready.

  3. Step 3: Choose 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.

    TipOur picks all act as the registered agent.

    Official source: Per wyoleg.gov, last confirmed October 2026

  4. Step 4: Send in the Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Authority

    Pay $150 and file the Foreign Limited Liability Company Application for Certificate of Authority (FLLC-CertificateAuthority) with the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division.

    Official source: Per sos.wyo.gov, last confirmed October 2026

  5. Step 5: Stay registered

    Registered foreign LLCs file the annual report and license tax ($60), first day of your anniversary month.
