Wyoming: LLC Annual and Biennial Report Requirements

Requirements one by one

Periodic report obligation

Wyoming requires an annual report filed with the Secretary of State (W.S. 17-29-209). It is
easy to under-rate because Wyoming has no corporate income tax and no franchise tax — this one
filing, and the license fee that rides with it, is the LLC's only recurring obligation to the
state. Both Wyoming LLCs and out-of-state (foreign) LLCs registered to do business here must
file.

Frequency and first report

The report is due every year, keyed to the month the LLC was organized. Section 17-29-209(a)
requires filing "on or before the first day of the month of organization of every year." A newly
formed LLC files its first report in its first anniversary month, then repeats each year in the
same month.

Due date and filing window

The deadline is the first day of the anniversary month — "on or before the first day of the
month of organization of every year" (§ 17-29-209(a)). If you organized your LLC on June 15, the
report is due by June 1 every year after. One timing detail people miss: the asset figures on the
report must be "current as of the end of the limited liability company's ... fiscal year
immediately preceding" the date you sign it (§ 17-29-209(c)), so the numbers look back to your
last fiscal year-end even though the deadline tracks your formation month.

Filing office and method

File with the Wyoming Secretary of State, online through the state's WyoBiz portal or on
paper. W.S. 17-27-101 authorizes any Title 17 filer to "file the annual report electronically and
pay the annual license fee through credit card, electronic funds transfer or by other means."
Section 17-29-209(a) requires the statement to be certified "under the penalty of perjury, by its
treasurer or other fiscal agent."

Required information

Wyoming's report is different from most states' — it is a short financial certification, not a
roster of people. Section 17-29-209(a) requires only two things: a perjury certification, by the
LLC's treasurer or fiscal agent, of "its capital, property and assets located and employed in the
state of Wyoming," and "the address of its principal office." There is no requirement to list
members or managers. The Wyoming asset figure matters because it sets the fee (below); an LLC with
few or no assets in Wyoming still owes the flat minimum.

Filing fee and related charges

The fee is a license fee equal to "sixty dollars ($60.00) or two-tenths of one mill on the
dollar ($.0002), whichever is greater," measured against the LLC's Wyoming-sited capital, property
and assets (§ 17-29-209(a)). In plain terms: $60 minimum, and $0.0002 per dollar of Wyoming assets
once those assets exceed $300,000. Most small LLCs pay the $60 floor. The fee "accompan[ies] the
report" and is due on the same date (§ 17-29-210(a)(iii)). There is no separate franchise or income
tax bundled in.

Late fee and delinquency

There is no flat late penalty for filing a day late. What Wyoming does instead is escalate to
forfeiture. If the LLC does not pay the annual fee required by § 17-29-210, the Secretary of State
sends a notice, and "unless compliance is made within sixty (60) days of the date of notice the
limited liability company shall be deemed defunct and to have forfeited its articles of
organization" (§ 17-29-705(b)). The same 60-day-notice forfeiture applies if the LLC loses its
registered agent or office and does not replace them (§ 17-29-705(a)). Until forfeiture, a late
filer keeps its existence but not its good standing.

Dissolution, reinstatement, and cure

Forfeiture of the articles of organization becomes effective 60 days after the Secretary of
State's notice (§ 17-29-705). Wyoming gives a generous cure window: a defunct LLC "may at any time
within two (2) years after the forfeiture ... be revived and reinstated." For a plain
fee-nonpayment forfeiture, reinstatement is "by paying the amount of the delinquent fees"
(§ 17-29-705(b)). Where the forfeiture was for losing the registered agent, reinstatement instead
requires filing the necessary statement plus a rule-set reinstatement fee and a $250 penalty
(§ 17-29-705(a)). Either way the LLC "shall retain its registered name during the two (2) year
reinstatement period," so a timely revival keeps the name; letting the two years lapse can lose
both the entity and the name.

What trips people up

• The deadline is your formation month, not a fixed statewide date. Section 17-29-209(a) ties
  the report to "the first day of the month of organization," so every LLC's due date differs.
• The fee is asset-based, so it can exceed $60. The license fee is "$60 or $.0002 on the
  dollar, whichever is greater" (§ 17-29-209(a)). An LLC with more than $300,000 of Wyoming-sited
  assets pays more than the minimum — and reports assets "located and employed in the state of
  Wyoming," not worldwide.
• The report asks about assets, not owners. Unlike most states, Wyoming does not collect
  member or manager names on the annual report — just a perjury-certified asset figure and the
  principal-office address (§ 17-29-209(a)). Wyoming's owner-privacy reputation traces in part to
  this.
• Reinstatement has a two-year clock and the name is only held that long. A defunct LLC has
  two years to revive under § 17-29-705; miss it and the entity — and potentially the name — is
  gone.

Common questions

When exactly is my Wyoming annual report due?
On or before the first day of your LLC's anniversary month, every year (§ 17-29-209(a)). Formed in
March, due by March 1; formed in October, due by October 1.

How much is the fee?
The greater of $60 or $0.0002 per dollar of your LLC's Wyoming-based assets (§ 17-29-209(a)). If
your Wyoming assets are under $300,000, you pay the $60 minimum.

What happens if I skip a year?
The Secretary of State sends a notice; if you do not cure within 60 days, your articles are
forfeited and the LLC is "defunct" (§ 17-29-705). You then have two years to revive it.

How do I get a forfeited Wyoming LLC back?
File for reinstatement within two years of the forfeiture and pay the delinquent fees (§ 17-29-705(b));
if the forfeiture was for losing your registered agent, add the rule-set reinstatement fee and a
$250 penalty (§ 17-29-705(a)). Your name is held for you during those two years.
