Wyoming Registered Agent Services
When you establish a corporation or other business entity in Wyoming, the state government requires that you designate a “registered agent” in Wyoming to represent your company. Sometimes this entity is also referred to as a “resident agent.” By designating such an agent, you provide the state with a known contact and a physical location where the state can deliver “service of process” to your company. This requirement ensures that all companies can be reached by the government and are legitimate and qualified to do business in the state of Wyoming. Service of process can include annual report filings, regulatory notices, legal proceedings and all other important government correspondence that is presented to your company from the state. Your Wyoming registered agent is responsible for handling service of process on behalf of your business—this means receiving and forwarding to you any such filings served upon your company in the state of Wyoming. A separate registered agent is also required in every new state to which you expand your business.
