How to order it

  1. Clear any past-due filings first. The Wyoming SOS will not issue a certificate while you have unpaid tax or an unfiled report. The state-specific requirements are in the points below.
  2. Order it online. Search your LLC in the Wyoming portal, request the certificate, and download it. Link in the table above.
  3. No state fee to pay. The standard certificate is free. A signed paper copy or expedited handling may add a small fee.
  4. Use it inside the recipient's window. The certificate has no state expiration, but banks and other states usually want one dated within the last 30 to 90 days. Order it close to when you need it.

Full ordering details for Wyoming

Wyoming issues this online at no cost, which its own fee schedule states in terms rather than leaving to inference. The electronic certificate carries the state seal, is electronically signed, and is generated on demand at wyobiz.wyo.gov with no account required; a certificate ID lets a third party validate it. Colorado also issues one free, so Wyoming is not unique. IF YOU NEED A MANUALLY SIGNED PAPER CERTIFICATE the office charges $20 under the fee schedule effective 1 July 2026, up from $10, and Wyoming publishes processing of up to 15 business days from receipt and states that expedited service is not available on it. Wyoming uses one document for domestic and foreign LLCs alike, listed as Certificate of Existence/Evidence/Good Standing. The LLC must be current on its Annual Report License Tax, minimum $60, due the first day of the anniversary month.

Important to know about Wyoming

  • The electronic version is FREE and available instantly - a major differentiator. Most receiving parties accept the electronic PDF with validation number. Only order the $20 manually signed paper version if a receiving party specifically requires one; Wyoming publishes up to 15 business days for it and sells no expedite.
  • Wyoming Annual Report License Tax is the greater of $60 OR $0.0002 per dollar of assets located in Wyoming. For most out-of-state holding LLCs, the $60 minimum applies. Due the first day of the anniversary month of formation.
  • Wyoming charges no late fee on the annual report. The entity is marked delinquent on the second day of the month following the due date, and if the report is still unfiled sixty days after the due date the LLC is administratively dissolved. Reinstatement is $100 where the missed annual report was the ground, or $350 where the LLC lost its registered agent, plus the delinquent reports and their license tax.
  • Some foreign filings (notably Maryland and New York) require a "certified" original certificate rather than the electronic version. Verify with the receiving state before relying on the free electronic certificate.
  • Wyoming does not impose a state income or franchise tax on LLCs, so good standing is strictly about the annual report and registered agent compliance.
