When exactly is my Wyoming LLC annual report due?

Your Wyoming LLC annual report is due on the first day of your LLC's anniversary month of formation, filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The Secretary of State's own example is that a business registering on January 15 has an annual report due date of January 1 each year. Wyoming charges no flat late fee if you file after that date, so the date itself is not what costs you money; the 60-day rule is. If the report is not filed within 60 days following the due date, the entity is administratively dissolved, which suspends your ability to do business under the name and makes coming back a $100 reinstatement for tax, assuming you act within the two years Wyoming statutes allow. You submit the report through the Secretary of State's online system at sos.wyo.gov or by mail, paying the license tax of $60 or $.0002 per dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater. Set a calendar reminder for the first of your anniversary month so the dissolution clock never starts.

What information do I need to complete Wyoming's annual report?

Wyoming's annual report asks for your LLC's legal name exactly as filed, your registered agent's name and Wyoming street address, your principal office address, and the value of the assets your company has located and employed in Wyoming. That last figure is not incidental: it is what the license tax is calculated on. You pay $60 or two-tenths of one mill ($.0002) per dollar of Wyoming assets, whichever is greater, so $60 covers in-state assets up to $300,000 and larger holdings produce a larger bill. If the amount due exceeds $500 you cannot e-file and must send the report on paper. The report is due on the first day of your anniversary month of formation, and failure to file within 60 days following that date results in administrative dissolution and loss of liability protection. Gather your asset figure before you start, then file through the Secretary of State's online portal at sos.wyo.gov so the filing is confirmed the same day.

Do I need to maintain a registered agent for my Wyoming LLC?

Yes, Wyoming law requires an LLC to maintain a registered agent with a Wyoming street address at all times. The agent can be you, if you have a Wyoming address, another individual, or a commercial registered agent service. Your registered agent receives statutory notices, lawsuits, and Secretary of State correspondence, and missing those documents is how owners end up with default judgments they never saw coming. This is not a formality you can let slide: an entity administratively dissolved for failure to maintain a registered agent costs $350 to reinstate, against $100 for reinstatement for tax, and Wyoming statutes bar reinstatement altogether after two years in dissolved status. The Secretary of State charges no separate state fee for having an agent, but you must keep the information current, so file the appropriate change with the Secretary of State as soon as your agent changes. Visit sos.wyo.gov to check the registered agent shown on your business record and update it if it is out of date.

What happens if I miss Wyoming's annual report deadline?

Nothing happens immediately, which is exactly why Wyoming catches people out. There is no flat late fee: a report filed after the first day of your anniversary month costs the same license tax it always did, a minimum of $60. The real risk is the deadline behind the deadline. If the report is not filed within 60 days following the due date, the Wyoming Secretary of State administratively dissolves the entity, which ends its authority to carry on business other than winding up. From that point you have no entity in good standing to do business through, and the two-year reinstatement bar starts running. Reinstatement for tax costs $100 for an LLC, and $350 if the dissolution was for failure to maintain a registered agent. Wyoming statutes prevent reinstatement after two years in administratively dissolved status, so waiting it out is not an option. File the overdue report immediately at sos.wyo.gov, then check your anniversary date and set a reminder two weeks ahead of it to prevent a repeat.

Wyoming LLC Annual Compliance Requirements (2026)

Everything your Wyoming LLC must do to stay in good standing, annual report deadlines, registered agent rules, and state-specific obligations.

First-Year Total$160

Annual Ongoing$60/yr

vs National Avg- $72.03

By Edmond Hui · Last updated: August 22, 2026

Wyoming has a reputation for being an easy state to run an LLC in, and on the compliance side it earns it, though the price tag is more middle of the road than the reputation suggests. Articles of Organization cost $100 and the annual report is a license tax with a $60 minimum, putting first-year state filing cost at $160. That is about $72 below the national average and ranks 24th lowest of the 50 states, so Wyoming is squarely mid-pack on cost rather than cheapest. The annual report is due on the first day of your anniversary month of formation, which spreads deadlines through the year instead of bunching them on one statewide date. Wyoming has cultivated a reputation as a leader in business innovation, particularly in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors, while maintaining traditional strengths in energy and tourism. Two Wyoming-specific details matter more than the headline fees. The $60 report is a minimum, not a flat fee: it is the greater of $60 or two-tenths of one mill ($.0002) per dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming, so a company with real in-state assets pays more. And Wyoming charges no flat late fee at all, but if the report is not filed within 60 days following the due date, the entity is administratively dissolved. Compliance here comes down to the annual report, the license tax calculation behind it, and keeping a registered agent on file.

Stat card for Wyoming LLC compliance costs: $160 unavoidable first-year total and $60 recurring each year after, −$72.03 against the $232.03 national first-year average. Its annual report costs $60. — First-year total bundles the state filing fee with any report or entity tax due in year one; the recurring figure is what Wyoming costs every year after that.

Wyoming-Specific Compliance Considerations

First-Day-of-Anniversary-Month Deadline

Unlike states with a single fixed annual report deadline, Wyoming ties the due date to the first day of your LLC's anniversary month of formation. The Secretary of State's example is a business that registers on January 15 and therefore has a January 1 due date each year. Your deadline is personal to your entity, which spreads compliance through the calendar but makes it yours alone to remember.

The $60 Annual Report Is a Minimum, Not a Flat Fee

Wyoming's annual report is a license tax equal to the greater of $60 or two-tenths of one mill ($.0002) per dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming. The $60 figure covers in-state assets up to $300,000. Above that the bill rises: $1,000,000 of Wyoming assets produces a $200 tax and $10,000,000 produces $2,000. If the tax due exceeds $500, WyoBiz does not permit e-filing and the report has to go in on paper.

No Late Fee, but a 60-Day Dissolution Clock

Wyoming charges no flat late fee for a late annual report, which makes it unusually forgiving on price. The consequence is structural instead: if the report is not filed within 60 days following the due date, the entity is administratively dissolved. Reinstatement for tax costs $100 for an LLC, reinstatement after dissolution for failure to maintain a registered agent costs $350, and Wyoming statutes prevent reinstatement after two years in administratively dissolved status.

No State Franchise or Privilege Tax

Wyoming's fee schedule and the Secretary of State's FAQ show no franchise or privilege tax on LLCs. The annual report license tax is the only recurring state-level entity charge, and the Department of Revenue administers sales and use tax rather than an entity income tax. Certificates of good standing are free online through WyoBiz.

Blockchain and Digital Asset Friendly Laws

Wyoming has enacted some of the most permissive cryptocurrency and blockchain legislation in the country, including chartered special purpose depository institutions and a statutory framework for decentralized autonomous organizations. LLCs working with digital assets get clearer ground rules here than in most states, though the annual report and registered agent duties on this page apply to them exactly as they do to everyone else.
