Wyoming requires a single annual filing: a $60 report due on your LLC's anniversary month. It does not disclose member or manager names. Here is everything you need to know about the filing.

The Wyoming annual report is a simple compliance filing required of every LLC formed in Wyoming. Its purpose is to confirm that the LLC is still active and to update basic information on file with the Secretary of State. The report is governed by Wyoming Statute Section 17-29-209.
Unlike annual reports in many other states, the Wyoming LLC annual report is minimal. It does not require financial statements, revenue disclosures, or detailed operational information. For anonymous LLC owners, the critical point is that it does not require member or manager names — your LLC remains anonymous after filing.
The annual report fee for Wyoming LLCs is $60, assuming the LLC's assets located in Wyoming are valued at $300,000 or less. For most anonymous LLCs — especially those used for online businesses, holding purposes, or privacy structures where the LLC does not hold significant Wyoming-based physical assets — the $60 flat fee applies.
If the LLC holds assets in Wyoming exceeding $300,000, the fee is calculated based on a per-thousand-dollar assessment. This is uncommon for the typical anonymous LLC but relevant for LLCs holding Wyoming real estate or other significant in-state assets.
$60 per year makes Wyoming the cheapest anonymous LLC state for ongoing maintenance. Combined with registered agent renewal ($30-50), your total annual cost is approximately $90-110. There is no state income tax, no franchise tax, and no separate business license fee.
The annual report is due on the first day of the anniversary month of your LLC's formation. If your LLC was formed on July 22, 2025, the first annual report is due by July 1, 2026, and then July 1 of each subsequent year.
Wyoming does not send a formal invoice. The Secretary of State may send a courtesy reminder, but it is your responsibility to file on time. Anonymousllc.co sends annual report reminders to all formation clients at least 30 days before the due date.
The Wyoming LLC annual report requires the following information:
What the annual report does NOT require: Member names, manager names, ownership percentages, revenue figures, financial statements, or any other information that would identify the beneficial owner. The annual report preserves your LLC's anonymity on public records.
Wyoming offers online filing through the Secretary of State's website at sos.wyo.gov. The process is straightforward:
The entire process takes approximately 5 minutes. There is no need to mail physical documents or appear in person. Anonymousllc.co can also file the annual report on your behalf — simply authorize Anonymousllc.co to file and pay the $60 state fee.
If you miss the annual report deadline, Wyoming imposes the following consequences in escalating order:
The annual ongoing cost is a major differentiator between anonymous LLC states. Here is how Wyoming compares:
| State | Annual Filing | Annual Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | Annual report | $60 | Lowest cost. No member disclosure. Due on anniversary month. |
| New Mexico | None required | $0 | No annual report, no annual fee. Cheapest ongoing. But harder banking. |
| Delaware | Annual franchise tax | $300 | $300 flat franchise tax for LLCs. Due June 1 each year. No member disclosure on the tax form. |
| Nevada | Annual list + business license | ~$350 | $150 annual list + $200 business license. Manager names required on annual list. |
New Mexico wins on raw cost ($0 ongoing), but its lack of annual filing means the state has no regular check-in mechanism — and its banking difficulties offset the savings. Wyoming at $60/year is the best balance of low cost, strong privacy, and smooth banking. Delaware at $300 and Nevada at $350 are significantly more expensive for ongoing maintenance.
Wyoming's $60 annual report serves multiple purposes beyond compliance. It keeps your LLC in active/good standing status on the Secretary of State database — which banks, vendors, and counterparties regularly check. It updates your registered agent and principal office information if either has changed. And it confirms the LLC's continued existence for liability protection purposes.
At $60, Wyoming achieves the lowest annual filing cost among states that require an annual filing. The only anonymous state with lower ongoing costs is New Mexico, which requires no annual filing at all — but New Mexico's lack of a regular filing mechanism and its banking challenges make it a less reliable long-term choice for most founders.
For context: a single month of a virtual mailbox service typically costs $15-30. Wyoming's entire annual compliance obligation costs $60 — the price of two to four months of a virtual mailbox. This is a trivially small cost for maintaining an active, privacy-preserving business entity.
Anonymousllc.co tracks annual report due dates for all formation clients and sends reminders at least 30 days before the filing deadline. Clients can file themselves through the Wyoming Secretary of State portal, or authorize Anonymousllc.co to file on their behalf.
