Converting an LLC means changing its entity type or moving it from one state to another - and the rules differ sharply across the four anonymous states of Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada. This Anonymousllc.co reference explains statutory conversion, domestication, and redomestication, what happens to the EIN and the operating agreement, how conversion interacts with public anonymity, and the flat cost of forming or moving an LLC into an anonymous state: New Mexico $347, Wyoming $397, Delaware $407, Nevada $722.
LLC conversion by state covers two distinct moves: statutory conversion, which changes an entity's type (a corporation becoming an LLC), and domestication or redomestication, which moves an existing LLC from one state to another while keeping the same entity. The two are handled by different provisions of each state's LLC Act. Conversion changes what the entity is; domestication changes where it lives. Both preserve the entity's history, contracts, and - in most cases - its EIN, which is the key advantage over dissolving and re-forming. Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada each authorize conversion and domestication under their LLC Acts (Wyoming Title 17 Ch. 29, Delaware 6 Del. C. § 18-101 et seq., Nevada NRS Ch. 86, NM NMSA § 53-19-1 et seq.). Anonymousllc.co maps your existing entity to the right path at intake.
Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada all permit an out-of-state LLC to redomesticate in, so an owner moves an existing LLC into an anonymous state without dissolving it. The old-state LLC becomes a new-state LLC while keeping its identity. Redomestication requires two coordinated filings: a certificate of conversion or domestication in the destination state, and a corresponding withdrawal or transfer filing in the origin state. When both states authorize the move, the LLC keeps its formation date, EIN, and contracts. When the origin state does not authorize domestication, the alternative is to form a new LLC and merge the old one into it. Anonymousllc.co handles the destination-state filing and coordinates the origin-state step, so the LLC lands on the public record showing only the registered agent and no owner name.
Converting a corporation to an LLC uses statutory conversion: a single filing in a state that authorizes it transforms the corporation into an LLC, carrying assets, liabilities, and contracts across without a separate transfer. Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada all authorize entity conversion under their LLC Acts. The plan of conversion sets the terms - membership interests replace shares, and the operating agreement replaces the bylaws. The corporation ceases to exist as a corporation and continues as the LLC with the same legal history. The tax consequences of a corp-to-LLC conversion are significant and separate from the state filing; a C-corp converting to an LLC can trigger a deemed liquidation. Anonymousllc.co handles the state filing and flags the tax question so Alif Al Razi or a referred CPA reviews it before you file.
Converting or redomesticating an LLC keeps the same EIN in most cases, because the IRS treats the entity as continuing rather than new. The EIN is tied to the entity's continuity, not its state of formation. The IRS requires a new EIN in specific situations - for example, when a sole proprietorship incorporates, or when the ownership structure changes in a way the IRS treats as a new entity. A straight redomestication of the same LLC across state lines does not trigger a new number. If a fresh EIN is required, Anonymousllc.co's standalone EIN service is $99, issued the same business day for US residents and by fax in 4-6 weeks for non-residents. Alif Al Razi confirms whether your specific conversion needs a new EIN before any filing.
Forming an LLC into an anonymous state through Anonymousllc.co is flat: New Mexico $347, Wyoming $397, Delaware $407, and Nevada $722. Each total is the $297 service fee plus that state's filing fee. A redomestication or conversion adds the destination state's certificate-of-conversion fee and any origin-state withdrawal fee, which vary by state. The service fee covers the coordination of both filings, the new registered-agent appointment, and the updated operating agreement. Ongoing cost then follows the destination state: New Mexico has no annual report or fee, Wyoming charges a $60 annual license tax, Delaware a $300 franchise tax, and Nevada roughly $350/year. Anonymousllc.co sends a one-page quote at intake with the exact total for your move.
Redomesticating into Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada makes an LLC anonymous on the public record, because those states do not list members or managers on the Articles of Organization under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-201, 6 Del. C. § 18-201, NRS § 86.161, and NMSA § 53-19-8. An LLC formed in a disclosure state - where owner names appear on the public filing - gains anonymity by moving to one of the four. The destination filing shows only the LLC name, the commercial registered agent, the organizer, and the formation date. Using a commercial registered agent rather than self-listing is what keeps the record clean after the move. Anonymousllc.co appoints the registered agent for year 1 in every package and at $100/year thereafter.
No. Under the March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, domestic reporting companies are exempt from BOI reporting, and a US LLC stays a domestic reporting company after an in-country conversion or redomestication. Because the entity remains US-formed, the exemption carries across state lines. Foreign reporting companies - entities formed under foreign law and registered to do business in a US state - remain obligated, and a 30-day update window applies to any change in their reportable information. Anonymousllc.co's BOI Status Tracker is updated monthly. If a final rule reimposes obligations on domestic reporting companies, every formation client is notified via WhatsApp 30 days before any deadline.
A conversion or redomestication requires a plan or certificate of conversion, the destination state's Articles of Organization or domestication filing, an origin-state withdrawal or transfer filing, an updated operating agreement, and member approval of the plan. The plan of conversion states the terms of the move and is approved by the members before filing. The destination filing creates the LLC on the anonymous-state record; the origin filing closes or transfers the old registration. The operating agreement is redrafted to the destination state's LLC Act. Anonymousllc.co prepares the destination filing and the updated operating agreement and coordinates the origin-state step. Keep the certificate of conversion with the LLC's permanent records alongside the Articles and EIN letter.
A destination-state conversion filing completes in 5-10 business days, matching a standard formation, though the origin-state withdrawal can add time depending on that state's processing speed. The filings must be sequenced correctly - the destination domestication and the origin withdrawal have to line up, or the LLC ends up registered in two states at once and owes fees in both. Members must approve the plan before filing, and the operating agreement has to be updated to the new state's law. The common derailers are missing member approval, leaving the origin registration open, and self-listing as registered agent in the destination state, which voids the anonymity. Anonymousllc.co coordinates both filings and appoints a commercial registered agent so the move closes cleanly.
