The Wyoming agent, in sequence

  1. Section 1

    Begin with the legal rule

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

    Reference: wyoleg.gov (edition of October 2026)

  2. Section 2

    Who qualifies as an agent

    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). The rule appears in W.S. § 17-28-101.

  3. Section 3

    Choose 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.

    A hired service lists its own Wyoming street address in place of yours.

  4. Section 4

    Acting personally or hiring

    If you qualify, you may name yourself. A professional from the list costs $99 to $149 annually.

  5. Section 5

    Name the agent in the filing

    The agent is named when the Limited Liability Company Articles of Organization is filed, and a later change is a separate filing with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

    Reference: wyobiz.wyo.gov (edition of October 2026)

  6. Section 6

    Track the recurring filing

    Budget for the annual report: $60 every year, due first day of the LLC's anniversary month. Official mail on the subject goes to the registered agent.
