Can I Form an LLC Online in Wyoming?
Yes. Wyoming allows online LLC formation through WyoBiz (https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/Default.aspx), the Secretary of State's official filing portal. You'll file Articles of Organization, pay a $100 filing fee, and receive approval faster than paper submissions. Wyoming permits single-member and multi-member LLCs and allows foreign owners, making online formation accessible to most business owners.
What You'll Need to File
Your Articles of Organization must include the following under Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-29-201, 17-29-203, and 17-29-205:
- LLC name with a required designator (LLC, Limited Liability Company, LC, Ltd. Liability Co., or similar per Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-108)
- Registered agent name and Wyoming street address
- Registered agent's written consent to appointment
- Principal office address and mailing address
- Email address for electronic service notices
- One or more organizers to sign and deliver the articles
Before You File
Search your desired name on WyoBiz at https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/FilingSearch.aspx to ensure it's distinguishable from existing Wyoming business records under W.S. 17-16-401. If you want to reserve a name in advance, pay $60 for a 120-day reservation.
Filing Steps
- Search available names on WyoBiz
- Access the online filing portal at https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/Default.aspx
- Complete your Articles of Organization with required information

Online filings process faster than the 15 business days required for paper submissions.
After Formation
If you operate under a name different from your LLC's legal name, file a separate trade name registration with the Wyoming Secretary of State for $100.
