Wyoming annual report compliance

Wyoming uses an anniversary-month model for annual report due dates. Annual reports for corporations, LLCs, LPs, RLLPs, and similar entities are due on the first day of the month in which the entity was originally formed or qualified (its anniversary month).

The first annual report is due the year following formation/qualification, and you may file up to one year early.Required information includes your Filing ID and business name (which can be looked up via the Wyoming Business Search if needed).

For corporations, names and addresses of officers and directors are requested. Financial information, specifically assets located in Wyoming, is required for the computation of the license tax.

Registered agent and principal office information are also reviewed and can be updated.Wyoming computes an annual license tax based on assets located in Wyoming. The formula is typically a fixed minimum (commonly cited as $50) or a per-dollar rate ($0.0002 per dollar of assets located in Wyoming), whichever produces the greater amount.

Online payment is accepted via Visa or MasterCard, with a convenience fee based on the license tax amount. If your annual report fee (license tax) is greater than $500, e-filing is not permitted, and you must print and mail the form instead.The primary filing method is online via the Wyoming Business Center annual report wizard (wyobiz.wyo.gov), which accepts card payments and applies convenience fees.

Alternatively, you can print the generated form from the online wizard and mail it with payment to avoid convenience fees (required if the tax/fee exceeds $500). Separate forms exist for amending certain items after filing, such as changes of officers or directors.The state sends automated email reminders if an email address is on file, typically at 60, 30, and 10 days before the due date.

You can add an email to the Secretary of State’s notification system.If the annual report is not filed by the end of the anniversary month, the entity becomes delinquent. Administrative dissolution/revocation proceedings usually begin about 60 days after delinquency, potentially leading to loss of good standing and limited liability protections until reinstated.

Reinstatement involves filing missed reports and paying the license tax; online reinstatement is often available for up to two years late, but revocations older than two years may require paper filings and additional steps.Practical compliance guidance and checklist for business owners / LLC founders:

For corporations, names and addresses of officers and directors are requested. Financial information, specifically assets located in Wyoming, is required for the computation of the license tax.

Determine your due month via the Wyoming Business Search (Filing ID / initial filing date).

Add a calendar reminder for the first day of the anniversary month (set early reminders at 60, 30, and 10 days).

Gather the Filing ID, officer/director or manager/member info, registered agent details, and assets located in Wyoming (for license tax computation).

File online via the Annual Report Wizard when ready; pay license tax and convenience fee, or print and mail if fee > $500 or if you prefer no convenience fee.

If you miss the deadline, file as soon as possible to avoid administrative dissolution — use online reinstatement if eligible; contact the Secretary of State Business Division for instructions if the entity has been revoked for more than two years.

Consider a registered agent service or a compliance monitoring service if you manage multiple entities to avoid missed anniversary months.Official resources include the Wyoming Business Center Annual Report wizard and instructions ( https
