Fix Wyoming delinquent LLC

Summary of steps and key state-specific requirements to fix (reinstate) a delinquent Wyoming LLC:1) Confirm your LLC’s status and reason for delinquency- Search the Wyoming business database (Wyoming Secretary of State / wyobiz) to confirm whether the LLC was administratively dissolved/forfeited and the effective date.

Note the statutory citation (W.S. 17-29-705) referenced by the Secretary of State for administrative dissolution.2) Determine the correct reinstatement path and deadline- Wyoming allows an administratively dissolved LLC to apply for reinstatement within two (2) years after the effective date of dissolution.

If more than two years have passed, you generally cannot reinstate and will likely need to form a new entity.3) Assemble required documents and payments (state guidance)- If delinquent for failure to file annual reports: submit each delinquent annual report, pay each delinquent annual report fee, and pay the $100 reinstatement fee.- If delinquent for failure to maintain a registered agent: submit an Appointment of New Registered Agent and Office form and Consent to Appointment form (small fee for agent forms), pay the $100 reinstatement fee, and pay the penalty (state form lists a $250 penalty for failure to maintain registered agent).- Foreign (out-of-state) entities seeking reinstatement in Wyoming must also submit a certificate of good standing/existence from their home jurisdiction dated within 60 days.

Complete the Application for Certificate of Reinstatement- The Application for Certificate of Reinstatement (Wyoming SOS form) requires the LLC name, effective date of administrative dissolution, and a signed statement that the grounds for dissolution have been eliminated. The signer must be a member, manager, or person authorized by the operating agreement. Provide contact info and an email address.

Filing method and processing- Follow the Secretary of State’s instructions

if the deficiency is registered-agent related some providers note that reinstatement may need to be mailed; for annual-report failures the state’s online reinstatement portal/checklist can be used. The official processing time guidance in the reinstatement form: processing time is up to 15 business days following receipt. (Different service providers sometimes report slightly different processing-time estimates.)

After filing- Ensure the SOS issues a Certificate of Reinstatement and that the business is back in good standing. Update any required internal records and, if necessary, notify the IRS (e.g., if EIN or tax classifications require attention) and any state tax authority if tax accounts were affected.

Costs and common practical issues to watch for- State reinstatement fee

$100 (per SOS form).- Delinquent annual report fee: the standard Wyoming LLC annual report fee is typically calculated by assets (commonly $60 for many small LLCs; confirm current annual report fee on SOS site before payment).- Penalty for failing to maintain a registered agent: the SOS reinstatement form lists a $250 penalty (some third-party sources report different amounts; always rely on the Secretary of State’s current forms/fee schedule).- Reinstatement must be within two years of administrative dissolution; foreign entities need a recent good-standing certificate.
