Move Your LLC or Corporation to Wyoming (Continuance)

Companies commonly move from Delaware, Nevada, Florida, South Dakota, etc. to Wyoming. The advantages are clear and primarily revolve around privacy, cost, and protection, the three important factors when forming a company.

Clients often face the choice of forming a new company or formally continuing their old one. A new company can be formed in 24 hours. If you keep the same name, then you may keep your old EIN.

Just be sure to inform the IRS of your move. A formal move requires more work and takes longer, however, it is allowed to keep its original start day. If you hire us to do the work, then you don't have to do anything. We will make sure you have everything you need to get started. In future years, Wyoming charges a minimal $60 a year to file an annual report and there is no state income tax or tax return to file.

Acquire original documents: Begin by ordering a certified copy of the Articles and any amendments. We recommend obtaining these via fax rather than their online setup which requires registration.

If this sounds like a hassle, don’t worry we offer a better solution. You can’t order your AOI online. Here’s how to find your supporting documents:

1. Complete the Copies Order form
2. Then look up your company to get the file number
3. Have it mailed to you. Wyoming REQUIRES documents to be original. FedEx and UPS offer overnight service.
4. Complete the Articles of Domestication for LLC or Corporation
5. Find a Wyoming Registered Agent : This is one of the most important parts of a Wyoming company. You are required to have one and their address is part of the public record. It’s where official correspondences are sent. If you are pursuing a Wyoming LLC for privacy then you DO NOT want to be your own registered agent as your information will be public. Choose a professional Wyoming Registered Agent Service to avoid this.
6. Wyoming Filing Hints
   • Date of Formation: means the date your company formed.
   • Consent to appointment of registered agent: This consent form requires an original signature and will let us represent you.
   • Duration period: A majority are formed in perpetuity.
   • You must list your business purpose. A general purpose clause, something like: “Any general business activity” is acceptable.
   • Each corporation requires a President, Director, Treasurer, and Secretary. Vice President doesn’t have to be filled. LLCs do not list any of these names.
7. Submit your filing to the WY Secretary of State:
   • Certificate of Good Standing and Certified Copy of the AOI
   • Articles of Domestication
   • Registered Agent Consent Form (We send to you)
   • One set of originals and one set of copies
   • A $100 check for the Wyoming Secretary of State
   • Mail to 2020 Carey Avenue Suite 700 Cheyenne, WY 82002. You may also reach them by phone at 307-777-7311 and their email is business@wyo.gov.
   • They will send back the copies with stamps. Fortunately, there’s no delay from when your filing is approved to when it shows up online.

Once your relocation has been approved, we are available to provide further guidance on topics including why Wyoming doesn't generally require a business license and how to register a DBA.
