What is a Foreign Corporation?
Any corporation formed outside of Wyoming is considered a foreign corporation. If you want your foreign corporation to do business in Wyoming, you’ll need two things:
Wyoming Registered Agent: This agent is a designated person or business entity in Wyoming that receives legal documents (service of process) on your behalf.
Wyoming Certificate of Authority: This document officially authorizes your foreign corporation to conduct business within the state.
How Do I File?
- Order Wyoming Registered Agent Service
- Obtain a Certificate of Good Standing: Request this document (no older than 60 days) from your home state’s Secretary of State.
- Complete the Wyoming Corporation Application for Certificate of Authority: You’ll need to appoint your registered agent on this form.
- Mail the completed application, Certificate of Good Standing, and Consent to Appointment by Registered Agent form (provided by Monarch) to the Wyoming Secretary of State with a $150 filing fee.
