1. Prove that you are registered in a state other than Wyoming as a Domestic LLC

- PCF can get your Certificate of Existence as quickly as possible from any state
|
In order to register as a Foreign LLC in the state of Wyoming, you must first prove that you are registered in another state as a
Domestic LLC.
You usually prove this with a Certificate of Good Standing, sometimes referred to as a Certificate of Existence or a Certificate of Fact, from the
state in which you are registered as a Domestic LLC.
Cost of a Good Standing Certificate for your Domestic LLC varies from state to state.
If you already have a Good Standing Certificate please note that it must be dated no older than 30 days from the date of your application for
Wyoming LLC Foreign Qualification.
If the date on your Good Standing Certificate is older than 30 days then you need to get an updated certificate.
PCF can get your Good Standing Certificate quickly and easily from any state.
If you get your own Good Standing Certificate you must scan and email or send a copy to us before we submit your application for
Wyoming LLC Foreign Qualification.

2. Choose a name for your Wyoming Foreign LLC
|
- PCF will check to make sure that your Wyoming Foreign LLC name is available, conforms to state of Wyoming
LLC naming regulations, and will reserve the Foreign LLC name with the Wyoming Secretary of State.
|
Your Wyoming Foreign LLC name can identify the type of products and services your business will provide;
or it may be the name of the founder; or it can be a combination of the two or something else.
In any case, the Wyoming Foreign LLC name that you choose must be distinguishable from the name of any other registered Wyoming LLC or other
business entity and the name must also be different from any reserved names on record with the state of Wyoming.
Your Wyoming Foreign LLC name must not imply that it was formed for a purpose other than that stated in the
Articles of Organization for your Domestic LLC
and your Wyoming Foreign LLC name must not be a name that is likely to mislead the public.
The name of a Wyoming Foreign LLC must include the word "Corporation" or
"Incorporated" or an abbreviation of one of these words.
It's important to choose a good name for your Wyoming Foreign LLC because if you want to change it after you qualify you
will have to file amended documents with the Wyoming Secretary of State (and pay a fee).
|
3. Select an official address and a Registered Agent for your Wyoming Foreign LLC
|
- PCF can act as the official Registered Agent for your Wyoming Foreign LLC.
|
Every Wyoming Foreign LLC must have an address that is physically located in the state of Wyoming.
This address is "registered" with the Wyoming Secretary of State.
The Registered Address is where official and legal correspondence can be delivered.
The individual or company that is registered with the state of Wyoming to receive all correspondence on behalf of the Wyoming
Foreign LLC is called a "Registered Agent".
You may act as your own Registered Agent, however, many Wyoming Foreign LLCs hire a Registered Agent because they don't have a physical
address within the state of Wyoming or to provide a distinct level of privacy.
PCF provides Registered Agent services in Wyoming as well as any other state.

4. File Registration Documents with the Wyoming Secretary of State
|
-
PCF can compile Registration Documents that are specific to your Wyoming business and file them with the Wyoming Secretary of State.
Should the need arise, PCF can also draft and file amendments to your Registration Documents.
|
|
In order to Qualify as a Foreign LLC in Wyoming you must file Registration Documents with the Wyoming Secretary of State.
The Registration Documents must include certain specific information about your Wyoming business.
If the Registration Documents do not conform exactly to state of Wyoming requirements they will be rejected.
You may subsequently amend the Registration Documents for your Wyoming Foreign LLC but you will have to pay a fee to
the state of Wyoming in order to make the changes official.
