Choose a state, file the paperwork, get your EIN, open a bank account. Here is exactly how.

Four US states allow truly anonymous LLCs: Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada. Your choice depends on four factors:
If you are unsure, Wyoming is the default recommendation. See our full state comparison for detailed analysis.
The Articles of Organization are the founding document filed with your chosen state. In all four anonymous states, the filing requires: LLC name, registered agent name and address, and organizer signature. Members and managers are NOT required. Anonymousllc.co files as the organizer — your name does not appear anywhere on the public filing.
Processing time: 1-3 business days depending on state. Wyoming is typically fastest.
Every LLC needs an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS for banking and tax filing. Anonymousllc.co obtains the EIN directly from the IRS. If you have a US SSN, EIN is issued same-day online. Without SSN (non-residents), the application goes via fax and takes 2-4 weeks. EIN does not require SSN — it just changes the timeline.
The operating agreement governs your LLC internally. It is never filed publicly — it stays between you and your LLC. Banks require a signed OA to open an account. Courts look at the OA to determine if the LLC was properly maintained. Anonymousllc.co drafts a custom OA for every formation, with privacy provisions specific to anonymous LLCs.
Anonymousllc.co applies to 4-5 US banks concurrently: Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and others. Banks always require beneficial owner identification (BSA/CIP rules) — your LLC is anonymous on state records, not at the bank. Approval typically takes 5-15 days after EIN issuance.
Under the March 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, domestic reporting companies (including your US-formed anonymous LLC) are currently exempt from BOI reporting. This could change. Anonymousllc.co provides BOI compliance guidance with every formation and offers a $150 managed filing service if needed.
Day 1: WhatsApp intake + payment. Days 1-3: State filing. Days 3-7: EIN + OA. Days 5-15: Bank applications. Most formations complete within 5-10 days. Non-residents with fax EIN: add 2-4 weeks for EIN issuance.
