Get Started — $99/yearWhat Is a Registered Agent in Wyoming?
A registered agent is an individual or business entity authorized to receive legal documents, service of process, and official correspondence on behalf of a business entity in Wyoming. Every LLC, corporation, nonprofit, and similar entity registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State is generally expected to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state. Wyoming Registered Agent provides this service for $99 per year.
The Role of a Registered Agent
Registered agents serve as the official contact point between your business and courts, government agencies, and other parties that need to deliver legal documents. When someone files a lawsuit against your business, when the Wyoming Secretary of State sends compliance notices, or when tax authorities need to reach your entity, these communications go to your registered agent.
The registered agent receives these documents during normal business hours and forwards them to you. This creates a reliable system for important communications that may have legal deadlines or require immediate attention — such as court summons, annual report reminders, or tax notices.
Because registered agent information appears on public records maintained by the Wyoming Secretary of State, anyone can search and find your registered agent's name and address. This public accessibility is one reason many business owners choose professional registered agent services rather than listing their personal address on state filings.
Wyoming's Registered Agent Requirements
The Wyoming Secretary of State establishes specific requirements for who can serve as a registered agent and how they must operate.
Who Can Serve as a Registered Agent Individuals must be Wyoming residents, 18+, with a physical address and valid email. Business entities must be registered and in good standing. An owner can serve as their own registered agent. An employee can accept process in the agent's absence only with written authority kept on file.
Address and Availability Requirements Registered agents are generally expected to maintain a physical address in Wyoming. PO boxes, drop boxes, mail forwarding services, and virtual offices don't meet state requirements. The registered agent must be available during normal business hours, five days a week, to accept service of process and other documents. This consistent availability ensures that courts and government agencies can reach your business when needed.
Which Wyoming Businesses Need a Registered Agent
LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, and most other business entities registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State typically need a registered agent from the moment they file formation documents. This requirement continues throughout your entity's existence.
Out-of-state businesses registering to do business in Wyoming also need a Wyoming registered agent with a physical address in the state. Wyoming's business-friendly environment — with no state income tax and no franchise tax — makes it attractive for businesses nationwide, but the registered agent requirement remains for all entities operating in the state.
Sole proprietorships and general partnerships that haven't formally registered with the state generally don't need registered agents, as they operate under the owners' personal legal capacity rather than as separate entities.
Can You Serve as Your Own Registered Agent?
Wyoming law allows owners to serve as their own registered agent. However, several practical considerations make this option less appealing for many business owners.
Your personal or business address becomes part of the public record with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Anyone can search these records online and find your address. If you work from home, this means your home address appears in public databases accessible to anyone.
You must be available at your registered office during normal business hours, five days a week, to receive documents. If you travel for business, work remotely, or simply step away during the day, you risk missing service of process or critical legal documents. While an employee can accept process in your absence with written authority on file, this adds administrative complexity.
Process servers and couriers may arrive at your home or office at any time during business hours seeking to deliver legal documents. If your registered address is your home, this can be disruptive and uncomfortable.
When business owners handle registered agent duties themselves, important documents can get overlooked, misfiled, or delayed in reaching the appropriate person. Professional services have systems to ensure documents are processed and forwarded promptly.
Benefits of Professional Registered Agent Service
Professional registered agent services address these challenges while maintaining compliance with Wyoming Secretary of State requirements.
Privacy Protection Our Wyoming address appears on public filings instead of your personal address. This keeps your home or business address out of public databases and prevents unwanted visitors or mail.
Reliable Availability We maintain presence at your registered office during normal business hours, five days a week. Whether you're traveling, working remotely, or simply busy with your business, documents get received when they arrive.
Prompt Document Forwarding When documents arrive at your registered office, we scan and email them to you the same day. You receive immediate notification and can access documents through your secure online portal. This system ensures you're aware of legal matters and compliance deadlines without delay.
Compliance Tracking We monitor Wyoming filing deadlines, including annual report requirements. Wyoming annual reports are due on the first day of your anniversary month. The filing fee is $60 minimum, or $0.0002 per dollar of Wyoming assets if over $300,000. Our reminders help you stay current with these obligations and avoid late penalties.
Business Flexibility If your business moves locations, shifts to remote work, or changes office space, your registered agent address stays constant. This stability simplifies compliance and eliminates the need to file address updates with the state every time your situation changes.
