Sample Articles of Organization - Anonymousllc.co's 2026 reference. Covers the rule, the controlling statute or regulation, common questions, and how Anonymousllc.co handles it in practice. Primary-source citations linked throughout.
The Articles of Organization are the founding document that legally creates an LLC when filed with the state. They list the LLC's name and its registered agent's name and in-state street address, and in the four anonymous states they do not require naming members or managers. The filing turns a business idea into a recognized legal entity. Once the state accepts the Articles, the LLC exists, can hold assets, sign contracts, and open a bank account. The document is short - most states fit it on one or two pages - but it controls what appears on the public record. Because Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada keep members off the Articles, the document itself is the anonymity mechanism. Anonymousllc.co files it so the registered agent, not the owner, is the only name the public can look up.
A sample Articles of Organization contains the LLC's legal name, the registered agent's name and physical in-state address, the registered office, an organizer's signature, and in some states the management structure. Members and managers are not required in the four anonymous states. The LLC name must include a designator such as "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company" and be distinguishable from existing entities in the state. The registered agent block is the only party contact, and it is where the anonymity holds - a commercial agent's generic name, not yours. The organizer is the person filing the document; it can be the formation service rather than the owner. When Anonymousllc.co files, it acts as organizer, which keeps the owner's name off even the signature line.
Anyone forming an LLC files Articles of Organization - it is the mandatory first legal step in every state. New founders, owners adding a second entity, and non-US residents building a US company all start here. Anonymousllc.co files it for all three. Non-residents rely on the service most, because the Articles require an in-state registered agent address they cannot supply personally. The document is otherwise identical to a US resident's filing. Existing owners restructuring - converting a sole proprietorship, splitting a business into holding and operating entities - file a fresh Articles for each new LLC. The anonymity design of the four states applies the same way to every new filing.
The core fields are the same across states, but the name of the form and the state fee differ. New Mexico's filing fee is $50, Wyoming's is $100, Delaware's is $110, and Nevada's is $425 - all charged on top of Anonymousllc.co's $297 service fee. Delaware calls its document a Certificate of Formation rather than Articles of Organization, though it serves the identical function under 6 Del. C. § 18-201. Wyoming and Nevada use "Articles of Organization"; New Mexico uses the same term under NMSA § 53-19-1. Nevada adds an initial annual list of managers filed alongside formation, which is why its total is higher. Anonymousllc.co maps each state's exact form and fee at intake so the quote reflects the real state charge.
No - not in Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada. All four keep members and managers off the Articles of Organization, so a state Secretary of State search returns only the registered agent, never the beneficial owner. This is the structural basis of an anonymous LLC. Ownership is documented privately in the operating agreement, which is never filed with the state. The public record shows the entity name and the agent; the ownership stays in a document only the members hold. Self-listing as your own registered agent breaks this, because your name and address then appear on the Articles. Anonymousllc.co uses a commercial agent precisely so the one public name on the document is generic.
Anonymousllc.co files the Articles of Organization with the state on your behalf as part of every formation package, acting as the organizer so your name never reaches the public filing. The service fee is $297 plus the state fee. By state that means $347 total in New Mexico, $397 in Wyoming, $407 in Delaware, and $722 in Nevada, with the Anonymous LLC SKU at $397 all-in. Each price includes registered agent for year one, an operating agreement, an EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. The filing goes to the state electronically where the state supports it. You provide the LLC name and business purpose on the WhatsApp intake; Anonymousllc.co drafts the document, files it, and returns the state-stamped copy.
The state accepts the Articles of Organization in 1-3 business days, and the full formation runs 5-10 business days end-to-end. Anonymousllc.co returns the state-stamped Articles once the state records the filing. The stamped Articles then unlock the next steps. The EIN application uses the approved name, and banks require the stamped copy alongside the EIN letter and operating agreement to open an account, which clears 8-10 days after the EIN issues. Non-residents follow the same state timeline for the Articles; the added time is on the fax EIN, not the formation document. The stamped Articles are the anchor the rest of the workflow builds on.
After the Articles file, secure the EIN, sign the operating agreement, and open a business bank account - the three steps that turn the filed entity into a working company. Anonymousllc.co runs all three inside the same formation window. The operating agreement documents the ownership the Articles deliberately leave off the public record, reinforcing the liability shield and satisfying banks that ask for it. The EIN, at $99 standalone or included in formation, is the tax ID every step downstream needs. After the first 90 days, the recurring state maintenance begins - Wyoming's annual report, Delaware's franchise tax, Nevada's annual list, or nothing in New Mexico. Anonymousllc.co sets the reminders so the good standing the Articles created is not lost.
The most common Articles mistakes are choosing a name that is not distinguishable from an existing entity, self-listing as registered agent and exposing your name, and mismatching the LLC name against the later EIN letter so a bank rejects the account. A name conflict bounces the filing and delays formation. Self-listing as agent defeats the anonymity the four states are chosen for. A name mismatch surfaces weeks later at the bank, when the EIN letter and the Articles fail to line up. Anonymousllc.co checks name availability before filing, files with a commercial agent, and quality-checks the exact legal name against the SS-4 so the EIN letter matches the Articles the first time.
Anonymousllc.co drafts and files the Articles of Organization as organizer, keeping your name off the public record, then carries the stamped document straight into the EIN, operating agreement, and banking steps.
