Registered Agents in Wyoming
Wyoming corporations and LLCs are required to have a registered agent located in Wyoming. The Wyoming registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents including service of process (litigation) documents, franchise tax forms, and annual report forms.
A Wyoming registered agent is an individual or company located at a street address in Wyoming. Post office boxes are not acceptable addresses for a registered agent in Wyoming.
If a company, such as BizFilings, is acting as your registered agent they must be registered as a corporation in Wyoming. There are a number of advantages to using a registered agent service provider in Wyoming, but the advantages differ between large and small companies.
Large companies in Wyoming benefit by having service of process and state documents send to their registered agent's office in Wyoming. The registered agent follows delivery instructions to ensure that important documents reach the correct individual. Smaller companies in Wyoming benefit by providing a consistent Wyoming address.
Another advantage to using another company as your Wyoming registered agent is that the information of your Wyoming registered agent is public record.
