Open full text →The Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act is codified at Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-101 through § 17-29-1105. It is one of the most LLC-friendly statutes in the United States and is the legal backbone of every Wyoming anonymous LLC. The Act runs across roughly eleven article groups covering formation, management, operating agreements, anonymity, charging-order protection, mergers, dissolution, and revival. Wyoming enacted its modern Act on the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act framework, which is why its provisions read cleanly and its case law is predictable. Every provision cited on this page links to the full Title 17 text so you can verify the language directly.
Under § 17-29-201, the Articles of Organization must include the LLC's name, the registered agent's name and Wyoming street address, and, if the LLC will be manager-managed, a statement to that effect. Members and managers are not required on the Articles. The filing fee is $100, and the Wyoming Secretary of State processes online filings in 1-3 business days. Because the statute lists no member or manager as required content, the owner's name never enters the public formation record. This is the exact statutory hook Anonymousllc.co relies on when it files a Wyoming anonymous LLC, using the registered agent as the only named party on the Articles.
Wyoming's anonymity flows from § 17-29-209: the statute does not require members or managers on the Articles or on the Annual Report. This is the structural reason Wyoming is a top anonymous-LLC jurisdiction. The registered agent appears on the public record; the beneficial owners do not. Because the state never collects the member list, there is no record for a searcher, journalist, or opposing party to obtain. Ownership lives instead in three non-public places: the operating agreement, the bank's customer-identification records, and the IRS EIN responsible-party record. None of those are searchable by the public, which makes Wyoming's statutory anonymity among the cleanest in the US.
Section 17-29-503 codifies the charging order as the exclusive remedy of a creditor of a member, including for single-member LLCs. A creditor is limited to the debtor-member's distributions and cannot seize the LLC or force a sale of its assets. This is rare - many states limit charging-order exclusivity to multi-member LLCs, leaving single-member LLCs exposed. Wyoming's single-member exclusivity closes that gap and is a major asset-protection feature. A judgment creditor who obtains a charging order waits for distributions the manager need not declare, which makes the interest far less attractive to pursue. This provision is a leading reason founders choose Wyoming for holding structures.
Section 17-29-110 gives operating agreements broad latitude. The agreement may modify almost every default rule in the Act, subject to a short list of non-waivable provisions such as the duty of good faith and the right to access records. Single-member LLCs may adopt an operating agreement in writing or by other record. The agreement controls management structure, voting, distributions, transfer restrictions, and dissolution terms, overriding the statutory defaults where the members choose. Anonymousllc.co drafts each Wyoming operating agreement to the § 17-29-110 defaults and then customizes the transfer and management terms to the owner's goals, keeping the document as the private governing record of ownership.
Under § 17-29-209 and § 17-16-1630, Wyoming LLCs file an annual report and pay a license tax with a $60 minimum, due the first day of the LLC's anniversary month. Members and managers are not required on the report. The report asks only for the LLC name, the registered agent, the principal office address, and a sworn statement of Wyoming-situs assets. The $60 minimum scales upward only if Wyoming-situs assets exceed $250,000, at $0.0002 per dollar over. Most holding LLCs pay the $60 minimum because their assets sit in the operating state, not in Wyoming. Anonymousllc.co sends a 30-day WhatsApp reminder before each anniversary-month deadline.
The Wyoming LLC Act stands out on two axes at once: it keeps members off every public filing and it extends charging-order exclusivity to single-member LLCs. Few state Acts do both. Delaware's Act (6 Del. C. § 18-101 et seq.) is more litigated and investor-familiar but costs more to maintain at $300/year. Nevada's NRS Chapter 86 offers similar protection but requires an annual list and business license. New Mexico's NMSA § 53-19-1 et seq. matches Wyoming's privacy at a lower annual cost of $0 but with weaker banking compatibility. Wyoming's combination of statutory anonymity, single-member protection, and a $60 minimum license tax makes its Act the default choice for most Anonymousllc.co clients.
The Act allows an LLC to dissolve voluntarily and provides for administrative dissolution and revival when annual obligations lapse. A $50 penalty applies after the annual report is 60 days late, and the state administratively dissolves the LLC at 12 months past the deadline. Revival is available under § 17-29-708 for $200 plus all back fees, restoring the LLC to good standing as if it had never lapsed. Voluntary dissolution follows the winding-up provisions in the Act, settling debts and distributing remaining assets to members per the operating agreement. Anonymousllc.co's annual-report reminder is designed to keep clients from ever reaching the penalty or dissolution stage.
Anonymousllc.co files each Wyoming LLC under § 17-29-201, drafts the operating agreement to § 17-29-110 defaults, and keeps members off every public filing as § 17-29-209 permits. The statute sets the requirements; Anonymousllc.co executes them. The Wyoming SKU is $397 all-in ($297 service plus the $100 state fee), the same total surfaced as the Anonymous LLC $397 all-in SKU. Included are the Articles filing, the first year of registered agent, a custom operating agreement, the EIN, bank applications, and the 30-day annual-report reminder. Registered agent renews at $100/year. Start on WhatsApp to form a Wyoming LLC under the Act.
The Wyoming LLC Act allows two management structures: member-managed, where the owners run the LLC directly, and manager-managed, where the owners appoint one or more managers. The Articles state which structure applies only if the LLC is manager-managed. A member-managed single-member LLC needs no separate manager - the sole member runs it. A manager-managed structure lets an owner stay off the operating role while a hired or appointed manager acts, which suits owners who want distance from day-to-day operations while preserving anonymity. Because § 17-29-201 requires no member or manager names on the Articles, neither structure exposes the owner on the public record. The operating agreement, drafted under § 17-29-110, sets the powers, voting, and removal rules for whichever structure the owner picks. Anonymousllc.co confirms the management choice on intake and drafts the Articles and operating agreement to match, keeping the beneficial owner private under either model.
