Wyoming LLC Name Requirements

You’ll need to verify your business name is unique and distinguishable from other entities registered in the Wyoming Secretary of State’s database. To do this you should do a Wyoming business search.

Key naming requirements for your Wyoming LLC:

• Your name must end with “Limited Liability Company,” “LLC,” or “L.L.C.”
• The name can’t match or be too similar to existing business names
• It must comply with Wyoming’s business entity name guidelines

Before finalizing your LLC name:

1. Search the Wyoming business entity database to verify the availability
2. Double-check that your name follows all state requirements

If you’re unsure about name compliance, contact the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office for guidance before submitting your business formation documents.

If your LLC is filed with an incorrect name the Wyoming Secretary of State only notifies you after filing. The state fee is non-refundable so you’ll have to pay again to resubmit.

Wyoming LLC Annual Filing Requirements

Wyoming LLCs must file an annual report with the Wyoming Secretary of State by the first day of the LLC’s anniversary month. The report includes basic company information and the Wyoming LLC annual fee, which starts at $60. Late filings incur penalties.

The annual report due date is the start of your annual formation month. For example, if your Wyoming LLC was formed on April 10th, the annual report would be due by April 1st annually.

• Maintain a physical business address in Wyoming (P.O. boxes aren’t allowed)
• Be available during regular business hours
• Receive legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of your LLC

File a BOI Report in 30 Days

A BOI report must be submitted within 30 days of forming your company. Every state in America requires companies to provide Beneficial Ownership Information to identify anyone who owns 25% or more of a company. 

Reporting companies must file beneficial ownership reports to FinCEN through their online portal. This only needs to be done once or whenever changes occur in your company’s ownership structure. Failure to comply with BOI reporting requirements can result in penalties. 

Wyoming LLC Tax Filing Requirements

A benefit of owning an LLC in Wyoming is no state taxes. However, you’ll still have to consider federal and sales tax obligations based on your LLC’s structure and ownership. It’s best to speak to a tax professional to understand your situation. 

A single-member LLC will be taxed on a personal level like a sole proprietorship. A multi-member LLC will be similar where each member reports their taxes on a personal tax return. The tax requirements for non-residents will be slightly different. 

Does Wyoming Require an Operating Agreement for LLCs?

Wyoming state law doesn’t require LLCs to have a written operating agreement, We recommend creating one to protect your business interests and establish clear organizational procedures.

While an operating agreement isn’t mandatory, it helps:

• Define ownership percentages
• Outline management structure
• Establish voting rights
• Set procedures for member changes
• Protect your limited liability status
