A Wyoming LLC is a limited liability company formed through the Wyoming Secretary of State in Cheyenne for a $100 state filing fee. It keeps member and manager names off the public record, charges no state income tax, and costs $397 all-in through Anonymousllc.co ($297 service fee plus the $100 state fee). This guide covers formation, cost, anonymity, tax, the $60 annual report, and how Wyoming compares to the other three anonymous-LLC states: New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada.
A Wyoming LLC is a limited liability company registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State in Cheyenne for a $100 state filing fee. It separates the owner's personal assets from business liabilities and keeps member and manager names off public state records. Wyoming pioneered the LLC statute in 1977, and the state has kept its filing rules simple and privacy-friendly ever since. The state accepts online filing, imposes no state income tax, and does not name owners on the Articles of Organization. Wyoming has authorized statutory series LLCs since 2018 under W.S. § 17-29-1201, so a single parent filing can hold multiple liability-isolated series without a separate filing per series.
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. From year two, the recurring cost is the $100/year registered agent plus Wyoming's $60 minimum annual report license tax, so ongoing maintenance runs about $160/year. Filing direct with the state costs only the $100 fee, but the founder then handles the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and banking alone.
Yes. Wyoming is one of four US states that keep LLC members and managers off public state records. The Articles of Organization list only the registered agent, not the owners, so ownership stays private at formation and on every annual report. The four anonymous-LLC states are Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada. For a founder whose first priority is keeping ownership off public databases, these four are the standard answer. Wyoming pairs that privacy with the lowest maintenance cost among the group, which is why it fulfills the flagship Anonymous LLC package.
Wyoming charges no state personal income tax and no corporate income tax on the LLC. Federally, the IRS treats a single-member LLC as a disregarded entity and a multi-member LLC as a partnership by default, with profits passing through to the owners. An LLC can elect S-corporation treatment by filing IRS Form 2553, which saves self-employment tax once net income exceeds roughly $40,000-$60,000. State tax stays at zero regardless of the federal election. Wyoming is one of nine US states with no state income tax, so the only tax the entity itself faces is federal.
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, or 0.0002% of the LLC's Wyoming-based assets, whichever is greater. The report confirms the registered agent and principal office and does not ask for member names, so anonymity holds year after year. Missing the deadline moves the LLC to delinquent status and leads to administrative dissolution, which can retroactively void the liability shield. Anonymousllc.co files the annual report as part of registered agent service.
Every Wyoming LLC must maintain a registered agent with a physical Wyoming street address to receive legal service of process and state mail. The agent's address appears on the public record instead of the owner's home or business address. Anonymousllc.co provides Wyoming registered agent service at $100/year, included for year one in the formation package. The agent forwards state notices and legal service the same day it arrives. Using a commercial agent is the practical mechanism behind Wyoming LLC privacy, keeping the founder's own address off the Secretary of State database.
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 8-10 days after the EIN. Anonymousllc.co runs the steps in parallel. Day 0 is a 5-minute WhatsApp intake, the Articles file the same day, and the EIN application starts the moment the state stamp arrives. Bank applications go to four or five partner banks at once, so a decline at one institution never stalls the timeline.
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 who needs a US LLC, a US EIN, and a US bank account without travel.
Wyoming is the lowest-maintenance anonymous state: $397 all-in and a $60 annual report. New Mexico is cheaper at $347 and requires no annual report at all, Delaware costs $407 with a $300 franchise tax, and Nevada costs $722 with a $350/year list and license.
All four keep owners off public state records. Wyoming wins for founders who want strong privacy and predictable low cost. New Mexico wins on pure price for those who accept a slightly less established reputation. Delaware suits venture-track companies, and Nevada suits founders who want its specific court system. Wyoming also leads on asset protection: its statute makes charging orders the exclusive remedy even for single-member LLCs (see Wyoming charging order protection), the foundation of most asset protection LLC structures.
The $397 Wyoming package includes the state filing, registered agent for year one, a Wyoming-specific operating agreement, an EIN, and four to five US bank applications to partners such as Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine. There are no hidden upsells behind that price. Add-on services are priced separately when needed: EIN reissue, ITIN at $299, and BOI reporting at $150 per report if a foreign reporting company owes it. The core formation, the registered agent, and the operating agreement all sit inside the single $397 figure, delivered in 5-10 business days. The bank applications go to established US business banks that serve non-resident founders, so the account handles payments, wires, and card spending from the first week.
No, for most Wyoming LLCs. Under the March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, domestic reporting companies are exempt from beneficial ownership information reporting. A US-formed Wyoming LLC is a domestic reporting company, so it files no BOI report. Foreign reporting companies that register into Wyoming from abroad remain obligated to file. Anonymousllc.co files BOI reports at $150 per report for the entities that still owe them and confirms exemption status for the domestic LLCs that do not. This rule applies at the federal level and does not change Wyoming's state anonymity.
