Forming a Wyoming LLC takes six steps: name search, Articles of Organization ($100 state fee), registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and bank account. End-to-end timeline is 5-10 business days with Anonymousllc.co. Wyoming is one of four US states that keep member and manager names off the public record, and the all-in cost is $397 ($297 service fee plus the $100 state fee).
A Wyoming LLC is fully operational in 5-10 business days end-to-end. The state accepts the Articles of Organization within 1-3 business days, the EIN follows in 1-7 days, and bank approval lands 3-8 days after the EIN. The path runs in parallel wherever it can. Day 0 is a 5-minute WhatsApp intake. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles the same day, then starts the EIN application the moment the state stamp arrives. US-resident founders receive the EIN in about one day through the IRS online portal; non-resident founders receive it in 5-7 days by fax filing. Bank applications go out to four or five partner banks at once, so approval does not wait on a single institution.
Search the Wyoming Secretary of State business database and confirm the name is distinguishable from every existing entity. The name must contain "Limited Liability Company", "LLC", or "L.L.C." Anonymousllc.co runs the name check and prepares two or three backup names before filing, so a rejected first choice never delays the filing. Wyoming does not require a separate name reservation for standard formation; the name is locked the moment the Articles are accepted. A separate 120-day reservation ($60 state fee) is available only when a founder wants to hold a name before filing.
The Articles of Organization list the LLC name, the registered agent and Wyoming registered office address, the mailing address, and an organizer signature. Members and managers are not named on the public filing. This omission is what makes a Wyoming LLC anonymous: the state record shows only the registered agent, not the owners. Articles are filed online with the Wyoming Secretary of State for a $100 state fee and accepted within 1-3 business days. Anonymousllc.co acts as organizer so the founder's name never appears on the public formation document.
Every Wyoming LLC must list a registered agent with a physical Wyoming street address to receive legal service and state mail. The agent's address appears on the public record instead of the owner's. Anonymousllc.co provides Wyoming registered agent service at $100/year, included for year one in the formation package. The agent forwards state notices and any legal service the same day it arrives. Using a commercial agent keeps the founder's home or business address off the Secretary of State database, which is the practical mechanism behind Wyoming LLC privacy.
Yes. Wyoming does not file the operating agreement with the state, but every US bank requires it to open an account and courts examine it in liability disputes. It is the document that proves who owns and controls the LLC. Anonymousllc.co includes a Wyoming-specific operating agreement tailored to Wyoming statute with every formation package. It sets out ownership percentages, management structure (member-managed or manager-managed), capital contributions, profit distribution, and transfer rules. A single-member LLC still needs one: without it, the LLC's liability shield is weaker and banks will decline the account.
The EIN is the LLC's federal tax ID from the IRS, and it is required before any bank account or tax filing. A non-resident without an SSN gets it by fax filing IRS Form SS-4, where the responsible party writes "Foreign" instead of a tax ID number. US-resident founders complete the EIN online in minutes. Non-resident founders receive it in 5-7 days through Anonymousllc.co acting as third-party designee on the SS-4. No SSN, ITIN, or visit to the US is needed. The EIN confirmation letter (CP-575, or a 147C on reissue) is the document banks ask for at account opening.
Anonymousllc.co submits applications to four or five US partner banks (Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and others) in parallel, using the stamped Articles, EIN letter, and operating agreement. Approval averages 8-10 days after the EIN. Applying to multiple banks at once raises the overall approval rate to roughly 90%, because a decline at one bank does not end the process. These are US business accounts with routing and account numbers, wire and ACH access, and debit cards. Non-residents open them remotely; no US visit is required. A funded account lands by day 10-12 of the overall timeline.
A Wyoming LLC costs $397 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $100 Wyoming state filing fee. That single price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. There are no upsells hidden behind that number. Year two onward, the recurring cost is the $100/year registered agent plus Wyoming's $60 minimum annual report license tax, so ongoing maintenance is roughly $160/year. Wyoming is the flagship state and fulfills the standard Anonymous LLC package at $397 total.
Wyoming charges no state income tax, no franchise tax on income, and no gross receipts tax on the LLC. Federally, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship and a multi-member LLC as a partnership by default, with profits passing through to the owners. An LLC can elect S-corporation or C-corporation treatment by filing IRS Form 2553 or 8832 when that lowers total tax. Non-resident owners with no US-source effectively connected income owe no US federal tax on foreign-earned profit, though a Form 5472 information return is required for a foreign-owned single-member LLC. State tax stays at zero regardless of the federal election.
Wyoming requires one annual report each year, due on the first day of the LLC's formation anniversary month. The fee is a $60 minimum license tax, rising only if in-state assets exceed $250,000. The report confirms the registered agent and principal office; it does not ask for member names, so anonymity holds year after year. Missing the deadline moves the LLC to delinquent status and, after 60 days, administrative dissolution. Anonymousllc.co tracks the anniversary date and files the annual report on request, so the entity stays in good standing without the owner watching the calendar.
Yes. Non-US residents form Wyoming LLCs without an SSN, ITIN, or visa, and never need to visit the United States. Wyoming places no citizenship or residency condition on LLC ownership. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles, obtains the EIN by fax without an SSN, provides the Wyoming registered agent and address, and submits US bank applications remotely. The founder handles the entire process from abroad over WhatsApp. This is the most common Anonymousllc.co use case: a non-resident founder who needs a US LLC, US EIN, and US bank account without travel.
