Does Wyoming Allow Professional LLCs (PLLC)?
Does Wyoming allow professional LLCs (PLLC)?
Yes, Wyoming allows professional LLCs. Under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-104(e), you may form a PLLC if your profession's Wyoming licensing statute permits LLC practice or the licensing board does not prohibit it. Wyoming does not maintain a closed list of eligible professions—eligibility depends on your specific profession's regulatory framework. You must verify with your profession's Wyoming licensing board before filing Articles of Organization.
Who Can Form a PLLC in Wyoming?
Wyoming permits PLLCs for any licensed profession whose regulatory framework allows it. Common eligible professions include accounting, architecture, engineering, law, medicine, and dentistry—but only if their respective Wyoming licensing boards have not prohibited LLC formation. Some professions may require all members to be licensed, maintain professional liability insurance, or obtain board approval before operating.
Contact your profession's Wyoming licensing board to confirm PLLC eligibility before forming your entity.
