The Wyoming agent, in order

  1. Step 1: Start with the legal requirement

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

    Official source: As listed on wyoleg.gov in October 2026

  2. Step 2: Find out who can do the job

    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). Law: W.S. § 17-28-101.

  3. Step 3: Check the office address rule

    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 provide the Wyoming office address.

  4. Step 4: Decide: yourself or a service

    Owners who meet the rules may serve themselves. A professional agent from our picks costs $99 to $149 a year.

  5. Step 5: Record the agent with the state

    When you file the Limited Liability Company Articles of Organization, the agent goes on it. A later switch means a change filing at the Wyoming Secretary of State.

    Official source: As listed on wyobiz.wyo.gov in October 2026

  6. Step 6: Keep the details up to date

    Each year, the annual report confirms your details for $60, by first day of the LLC's anniversary month.
