Wyoming Foreign Registration › Fees

What a Wyoming foreign LLC registration costs, line by line

The Wyoming bill for a foreign LLC starts at $150 for the certificate of authority and continues with a yearly license tax of $60 or more. Our own charge, $199, appears as a separate line when you check out.

Application fee and yearly charge by entity

Entity	On applying	Every year
Limited liability company	$150	A license tax, $60 minimum
Profit corporation	$150	A license tax, $60 minimum
Nonprofit corporation	$50	A flat $25 annual report fee
Limited partnership	$150	A license tax, $60 minimum
Registered limited liability partnership	$150	A license tax, $60 minimum

The LLC fee does not vary with members, revenue or home state.

Amended certificate for an LLC	$60
Switching to a new agent and office	$5

An agent stepping down, each entity	$5

These are state charges, separate from our fee.

Sample bills for a foreign LLC

Case	Total	How it adds
A Delaware LLC applies	$200	$150 + $50
A Nevada LLC applies	$200	$150 + $50
Delaware LLC, year-one total with home-state tax	$660	$200 + $60 + $400
Nevada LLC, year-one total with home-state charges	$610	$200 + $60 + $350
Apply and then name a new agent	$155	$150 + $5
Five years at the floor, application included	$450	$150 + $300

Year-one rows include the home state's own yearly bill, and none of them counts a license tax above the floor.

Where the home certificate price comes from

The home state sells the certificate, not Wyoming:$50 in Delaware, $50 in Nevada. Because Wyoming wants an original dated inside 60 days of filing, a certificate that ages out is bought a second time.

A formula, not a flat yearly fee

The yearly charge is two-tenths of one mill on the dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming, and it never drops below $60. The state's own example: $1,210,000 of Wyoming assets gives $242. At $300,000 of assets or lower the floor is the bill.

Paying the yearly tax online

A report filed online with a Visa or Mastercard card carries a convenience fee set by the payment processor, and a tax above $500 cannot go through the online route at all.

What working first adds

A company that works in Wyoming before applying owes all the fees and license taxes that would have been imposed had the company applied and received a certificate and then filed every report, with eighteen percent interest, plus a penalty of five thousand dollars, reasonable audit expenses and reasonable attorney fees. The penalty plus the $150 application comes to $5,150, before the back fees, taxes, interest and costs.

Falling behind

A missed yearly tax ends in administrative dissolution 60 days after the due date. Reviving the LLC costs $100 plus the delinquent sums, and losing the agent costs $350.

Charges that sit outside Wyoming's schedule

Three costs sit outside the application fee: the home certificate, the yearly license tax as Wyoming's formula sets it, and any outside registered agent. Checkout puts each beside our fee so the total is clear before you pay.

The payment that goes in the envelope

The packet carries a check or money order payable to Wyoming Secretary of State, in the same envelope as the application, because the filing travels on paper.

What our fee covers

Our fee covers gathering the company details, completing the application and the agent consent form, giving you the date to order the home certificate, and assembling the packet, priced at $199. Owners who prefer to file alone can follow the mail-it-yourself page.

Five years in one sentence

At the floor an LLC pays Wyoming $450 over five years: $150 to apply plus $60 a year, with $300 of that being the yearly tax alone.

Registered agent: first year included, then $149 a year

$199 plus the state fee, including your first year of registered agent service; after that the agent service renews at $149 a year.

Fee questions

Do members or revenue change the application fee?

No. It is $150 for any foreign LLC.

What repeats every year?

The license tax: $60 or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater.

What does a corporation pay to apply?

$150.

What does working first cost?

A $5,000 penalty, with fees, license taxes and 18 percent interest on top.

Will checkout show the state fee separately?

Yes, as a line apart from ours.
