Appointing a Wyoming registered agent, one step at a time

  1. Step
    1

    Find out what Wyoming asks of an agent

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

    Where this comes from: wyoleg.gov confirms it, as of October 2026

  2. Step
    2

    Find out who can serve

    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). See W.S. § 17-28-101.

  3. Step
    3

    Check the registered 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.

    A service gives you a Wyoming street address, which keeps your home address off the filing.

  4. Step
    4

    Choose between acting yourself and hiring an agent

    Qualified owners may act as their own agent. Otherwise our graded picks charge $99 to $149 per year.

  5. Step
    5

    Get the agent on record

    For a new Wyoming LLC the agent goes on the Limited Liability Company Articles of Organization. To switch later, file the change with the Wyoming Secretary of State.
