The Wyoming Secretary of State is the regulator for every Wyoming LLC, including every anonymous LLC Anonymousllc.co files in Wyoming. Wyoming SOS is widely regarded as the most LLC-friendly state SOS in the US - low filing fees, fast online processing, statutory anonymity, and a clean annual-report workflow. This page covers the filing portal, fee schedule, anonymity under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-201, and annual maintenance.
§ 17-29-201 governs Articles of Organization (no member/manager listing required). § 17-29-209 governs the Annual Report. § 17-29-503 governs single-member charging-order exclusivity.
Open full text →The Wyoming Secretary of State accepts Articles of Organization for Wyoming LLCs under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-201, maintains the public business registry, and processes the annual report under § 17-29-209. Wyoming SOS is housed in the State Capitol building in Cheyenne but operates almost entirely online - over 95% of LLC filings go through the WyoBiz online portal. Wyoming's anonymity is the strongest in the US for single-member LLCs. The Articles of Organization do not require members or managers. The Annual Report does not require members or managers. The state does not maintain a public member registry. Combined with Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-503 (charging-order exclusivity even for single-member LLCs), Wyoming is the default formation state for most Anonymousllc.co customers.
Wyoming accepts Articles of Organization through: • Online portal - WyoBiz at wyobiz.wyo.gov. Standard processing 1-2 business days. Used by 95%+ of filers including Anonymousllc.co. • Mail filing - Wyoming SOS, Business Division, State Capitol Building, 200 W 24th St, Cheyenne, WY 82002. Adds 7-10 business days vs online. Wyoming does not formally offer expedited filing. The standard 1-2 day turnaround is fast enough that expedited demand is minimal. During fiscal year-end (June 30), processing occasionally extends to 3-4 days. Anonymousllc.co files all Wyoming customer LLCs through WyoBiz via WyomingAgents.com (our state-licensed RA partner). Customer receives state-stamped Articles via WhatsApp within 1-3 business days of intake.
Articles of Organization (LLC): $100 under Wyo. Stat. § 17-16-122. This is the 'state fee' line in Anonymousllc.co's Wyoming LLC pricing ($297 + $100 = $397 total). Same total as the Anonymous LLC $397 all-in framing. Annual Report: $60 minimum license tax under § 17-29-209 and § 17-16-1630. Due first day of the LLC's anniversary month every year. Scales upward if WY-situs assets exceed $250,000 ($0.0002 per dollar over). Name reservation (optional): $50 for 120 days. Anonymousllc.co skips this - availability is checked at WyoBiz before filing. Certified copy: $5. Apostille: $20. Foreign LLC (registering a non-Wyoming LLC to do business in WY): $150. Wyoming is the cheapest among the four anonymous states by 3-year cost: $100 formation + $60 + $60 = $220 over 3 years in state fees. Only NM beats it ($50 + $0 + $0 = $50), but NM has weaker banking compatibility.
Under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-201, the Articles of Organization must include: • LLC name • Mailing address (the LLC's, not the owner's - can be the registered agent address) • Name and physical Wyoming street address of the registered agent • Whether the LLC will be member-managed or manager-managed (does NOT require listing the members or managers) Members and managers are NOT required. This is the statutory basis of Wyoming anonymous-LLC formation. Under § 17-29-209, the Annual Report requires only: LLC name, registered agent, principal office address, and a sworn statement of WY-situs assets. Members and managers are NOT required. Wyoming does not maintain any public member/manager registry - not on the Articles, not on the Annual Report, not on any other recurring filing. The only person on Wyoming SOS records is the registered agent. Beneficial owners stay in (a) the operating agreement, (b) the bank's BSA/CIP records, and (c) the IRS EIN responsible-party record. This is the cleanest state-records anonymity in the US.
Annual Report due first day of LLC's anniversary month every year. $60 minimum license tax under § 17-29-209. The license tax scales if the LLC has WY-situs assets exceeding $250,000 - $0.0002 per dollar over (so a $1M WY-situs LLC owes $250 + the minimum, scaled). Most Anonymousllc.co holding LLCs do not exceed $250K WY-situs because the LLC's assets are located in the operating state, not Wyoming. Late filing: $50 penalty after 60 days. Administrative dissolution at 12 months. Revival available under § 17-29-708 for $200 plus all back fees. Anonymousllc.co's Wyoming customers receive a 30-day WhatsApp reminder before each anniversary-month deadline. Customers can file the Annual Report themselves through WyoBiz ($0 service cost, $60 state fee) or add the Annual Report Filing add-on at $99 plus the $60 state fee for hands-off renewal.
Anonymousllc.co's Wyoming LLC SKU ($297 + $100 state = $397 total) is filed through WyoBiz via WyomingAgents.com. Same workflow used for the Anonymous LLC $397 all-in SKU (which is Wyoming-fulfilled on the backend). Included: • Filing Articles of Organization (1-3 business day turnaround) • Registered agent year 1 (WyomingAgents.com, renews $100/year) • Custom operating agreement drafted to Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-110 defaults • EIN from IRS (online same-day for US residents, fax 4-6 weeks for non-residents) • Bank applications to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, plus 1-2 alternatives • 30-day WhatsApp reminder before year-1 Annual Report deadline Wyoming has been Anonymousllc.co's #1 state by formation volume since launch. Banking compatibility is the strongest among the four anonymous states; Mercury and Relay see Wyoming LLCs in their underwriting daily. For Wyoming-specific tax planning (Wyoming has no state income tax), see /resources/state-tax-comparison/ for the comparison with other no-income-tax states.
The Wyoming Secretary of State processes online WyoBiz filings in 1-2 business days. Wyoming offers no formal expedited option because standard turnaround is already fast. During the fiscal year-end near June 30, processing occasionally extends to 3-4 days. Mail filings add 7-10 business days over the online route. Anonymousllc.co files every Wyoming LLC through WyoBiz and returns the state-stamped Articles by WhatsApp within 1-3 business days of intake, so the full formation stays on the 5-10 business day track.
Wyoming pairs the second-lowest annual cost with the strongest single-member creditor protection of the four anonymous states. New Mexico is cheaper annually at $0; Delaware and Nevada cost more each year. On annual state cost, New Mexico is $0, Wyoming $60, Delaware $300, and Nevada an annual list plus business license. On protection, Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-503 makes the charging order the exclusive remedy even for single-member LLCs. On banking, Wyoming LLCs clear Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine underwriting daily. New Mexico wins on pure cost, but Wyoming's protection and banking compatibility make it Anonymousllc.co's default.
The Wyoming SOS issues the state-stamped Articles of Organization on approval, and on request a certified copy for $5, an apostille for $20, and a Certificate of Good Standing confirming the LLC is current on its annual report. The stamped Articles are the primary formation document banks and processors ask for. A certified copy or apostille supports foreign banking and cross-border use. Anonymousllc.co delivers the stamped Articles by WhatsApp within 1-3 business days and obtains a certified copy, apostille, or Certificate of Good Standing on request when a bank or authority requires one.
