How Do I Register as a Foreign LLC in Wyoming?
Obtain a Certificate of Good Standing from Your Home State:
The Wyoming Secretary of State requires proof that your LLC is active and compliant in its home state. This document, known as a Certificate of Good Standing (sometimes called a Certificate of Existence or Authorization), verifies you’ve paid taxes and filed necessary reports. Contact your home state’s Secretary of State’s office to obtain this document.
Ensure the Certificate is no older than 60 days, or it will be rejected.
Complete a Wyoming LLC Certificate of Authority:
The next step involves completing a Wyoming LLC Certificate of Authority. This official form serves as your foreign LLC’s registration with the Wyoming Secretary of State. An important part of this process is appointing a registered agent with a physical address in Wyoming. This agent will be responsible for receiving legal documents on behalf of your LLC, ensuring you stay compliant with state regulations.
Do I Need a Wyoming Certificate of Authority?
If your LLC is registered in another state but wants to operate in Wyoming, you’ll need a Wyoming Certificate of Authority to be considered a “foreign LLC.” This allows you to legally conduct business within the state.
