Moving a Nevada LLC into Wyoming

How much does it cost to bring a Nevada LLC into Wyoming? $150 for the application and $50 for the Nevada certificate, $200 before the first yearly bill. Nevada keeps its $350 list and license on top.

The Nevada certificate against the Wyoming fee

Topic	Nevada	Wyoming
Paper	$50 certificate, dated inside 60 days of filing	An original goes in the packet
Cost of authority	The LLC already exists	$150
Yearly	$350: $150 list plus $200 license	License tax from $60
Agent	Registered in Nevada	Needs a Wyoming street address

Where does Nevada go on the form?

On the Wyoming application the Nevada company lists Nevada as its law of organization and copies its organization date from the Nevada certificate. Both company addresses may stay in Nevada.

When should I order the Nevada certificate?

Last as well. What Wyoming accepts is an original bearing Nevada's authentication, issued in the 60-day window ahead of the Wyoming filing. Nevada charges $50, and an aged certificate has to be purchased again.

Does my Nevada agent count in Wyoming?

Nevada's agent has no role in Wyoming. A separate Wyoming agent, at a physical address, signs the consent page, and the company names a designated contact with the Secretary of State or the agent.

How does the Nevada yearly bill work?

Nevada's $350 is an annual list of $150 and a State Business License of $200, filed together. A late list adds $75. Wyoming's license tax falls on the first day of the month in which the entity registered or qualified, each year.

What if the LLC has already worked in Wyoming?

Unauthorized work in Wyoming carries the $5,000 penalty with back fees, taxes and interest at 18 percent, detailed on the penalty page. Nevada's charges are not touched.

Five years across two states

Part	Amount

Both states	$2,250

Nevada's certificate is part of the Wyoming line. Our fee is itemized separately when you check out.

What the application asks of the Nevada company

The statement lists the name of the company as organized; the state or country of its law; the date it was organized, which must match the certificate; its period of duration; its mailing address; its principal office address; the name and physical Wyoming address of its registered agent; its acceptance of the Wyoming constitution; and the date it began, or will begin, doing business in Wyoming. Only the certificate behind it comes from Nevada.

How long the state takes

Mail is reviewed in the order received, and the state allows up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt. The certificate only has to be inside its window on the day the packet is filed.

Will the Nevada LLC become a Wyoming one?

It will not. The certificate authorizes business in Wyoming; the company stays a Nevada LLC and keeps its Nevada operating agreement.

Why apply at all?

A Nevada LLC cannot start Wyoming business before it holds the certificate. Whether an activity counts is a legal judgment for a Wyoming business lawyer, and the doing-business page lists what the statute sets aside.

A walk through a company in Jackson

Say a Nevada LLC with two members runs a guiding business out of Jackson. After naming a Jackson agent it orders the Nevada certificate ($50), mails the packet with $150, and has spent $200 before the first bill. At the end of a year the $60 Wyoming floor and Nevada's $350 lift the total to $610.

Keeping two calendars

Wyoming's license tax comes on the first day of the month in which the entity registered or qualified, each year. Nevada's list follows Nevada's own calendar, so the company holds two sets of dates. Write both down the day you apply.

If Nevada's name is taken

The company files the fictitious name form with the application and uses that name only in Wyoming.

Withdrawing

When the Nevada LLC has finished with Wyoming, the withdrawal form on the withdrawal page ends its authority. Nevada is unaffected.
