WY registered agent
Wyoming, $43 a year, come on in
Howdy, neighbor, and pull up a chair, because this is the Wyoming page and it is the only one we have. Introductions first, which means the statute, then a word on where we stand, then everything the state does when an agent only waves, all of it quoted straight from the code because the code says it better than we do and less warmly.
What the state asks of an agent, friend
The rule
Here is what the Wyoming code has to say, and we say howdy right back to it:

The Wyoming yearly charge
Once a year the state comes calling with a bill to keep your company on the books, and we would offer it coffee if it stayed. The amount is below. Skip it and you have saved money the way you save money with us, briefly and with consequences.
Yearly charge, LLC
$60 each year, and howdy to that.
... dollars ($60.00) or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($.0002), whichever is greater

Where all this came from: incFACTS captured it on 2026-08-01 and checked it against the Wyoming code on 2026-08-10. Legislatures rewrite things when they meet, and we rewrite this page when a visitor stays long enough to mention it, which has not happened.
Places we would say howdy to
Everybody is welcome on the porch and so is every part of the state. These are a few we wave at, photographed by folks who went and looked.
the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone
The falls in winter with the canyon rimmed in snow. Howdy to the falls. They have never once said it back, and we do not hold it against them.

the Hayden Valley
Two bison side by side in the grass, minding their business, which is more business than we mind. Howdy, both of you.

the Hayden Valley in snow
The valley under snow with the river showing dark through it, taking its time, saying howdy to both banks. We admire the manners.

the West Thumb Geyser Basin
The lake past the blue water of Bluebell Pool. Warm water, cold lake, no office. Friendly, though.

the Teton Range
The range across the valley on a clear day. We wave at it every morning from the porch. It is the only thing out here taller than the price.
