Wyoming LLC for non-US founders

What we file

We prepare and submit your Articles of Organization to the Wyoming Secretary of State, with our partner as your registered agent in Wyoming. Before filing we search the Wyoming register for your name; if it is taken we ask you for another before anything is submitted.

The name must be distinguishable from every other name on the Wyoming register and end in LLC, L.L.C. or Limited Liability Company.

Every year after

Annual report and license tax. The annual report is due on the first day of the month you were formed in, starting the year after formation. The license tax is $60 or two-tenths of a mill on assets located in Wyoming, whichever is more. For a company with no Wyoming assets that means $60.

If the report is not filed within about 60 days of the due date, the state can administratively dissolve the LLC. Reinstatement is possible but costs more than staying current.

Separately from the state, a foreign-owned single-member LLC files IRS Form 5472 every year, even with no income.

Processing time

Online filings are usually reviewed within one to three business days. Wyoming does not sell a paid expedite. Online filing is already quick.

Privacy

The Articles name the organizer and the registered agent. Members and managers are not listed in the public filing. The organizer can be the filing service, so your own name does not have to appear.

Whatever the state publishes, your bank, the IRS and your registered agent always know who owns the company.

State tax

No state corporate or personal income tax.

General information, not tax advice. Where you live decides most of your tax position; speak to a tax adviser in your country.

Wyoming questions

Do I need to live in Wyoming or visit?

No. You need a registered agent with a Wyoming address, which is included in every package. You never have to travel to the US.

What does a Wyoming LLC cost each year?

For most small companies, $60 in license tax paid with the annual report, plus the registered agent fee after the first year.

Is my name public with a Wyoming LLC?

Members and managers are not listed in the Articles. The organizer is, and that can be the filing service rather than you.

How long does a Wyoming LLC take?

The state typically approves in 1–3 business days. Online filings are usually reviewed within one to three business days. The EIN from the IRS is a separate step that usually takes 2 to 6 weeks for owners without a Social Security number.

What does LLCBolt charge for a Wyoming LLC?
