What Goes on Wyoming's Articles of Organization

Each row is one of the 15 items this page tracks, with what Wyoming's Articles of Organization asks for. A row that names another filing is asked on that filing, not on the Articles of Organization. "Not on the form" means we checked and found no place for it on the Articles of Organization. "Not checked" means we have not confirmed it either way.

MyStateLLC.com is not a law firm, not an attorney, and not a document preparation service. This is a self-service tool: it formats information you enter into a state template, and no one at MyStateLLC reviews, corrects, or files it for you. This tool and the document it generates are informational and are not legal, financial, or tax advice, and are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. MyStateLLC cannot give legal advice, does not prepare or file documents itself, and communications with MyStateLLC are not privileged. Using this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship. LLC laws vary by state and this document is not reviewed by anyone before you file it. Consult a licensed attorney or CPA in your state before you sign or file it.

Professional LLCs in Wyoming

We have not confirmed whether Wyoming allows a professional LLC; check with the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division, and the state licensing board.

Worth Knowing in Wyoming

The registered agent must sign a separate consent page that is filed with the Articles. The form also asks whether the company elects to be a close limited liability company, and asks the organizer to consent to electronic service of process at the email address given. A certified copy costs $10 for up to ten pages, and a longer document adds $5 plus 15 cents for each page after the tenth.

This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state's filing office publishes about the document that forms an LLC, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you what your own filing needs: fees and forms change between our reviews, several occupations cannot use an ordinary LLC at all and must use a professional entity or a separate professional form, and your city or county may require a registration of its own. Confirm the current fee and form with the filing office named on this page before you send anything.
