Wyoming Corporation Guide

Follow this WY Corporation filing guide to see all the simple steps needed to filing a corporation in Wyoming on your own. After you file your Wyoming Corp online, the state online filing wizard will generate the filed Articles of Incorporation for you to download. You will also have a chance to download the document in the future, for free.

You can skip the hassle by letting us form your Wyoming Corporation for you at absolutely no extra charge. (We only charge our registered agent fee + state fees.)

Step 1

Start the Wyoming corporation filing process by going to the Wyoming Secretary of State’s business filing page online.

Click File Your Wyoming LLC, Profit or Nonprofit Online Now! to begin the application for a new corporation in Wyoming.

Step 2

Click the “Start Now!” green button on the right side of your screen to begin the Wyoming incorporation process online. 

Step 3

Choose the type of Wyoming company that you want to form, for example: “corporation.” Agree to the terms and click next to officially start.

Step 4

Enter in your new Wyoming Corporation name. If you need to do a Wyoming Corporation name search, go here for information on that subject. You will not be allowed by the state to file a name that is already taken by a limited liability company that has been filed. Confirm your business name and click next to continue the online incorporation process.

Step 5

Enter in your new Wyoming Corporation’s stock information. Decide whether you want common stock, preferred stock, or both. In the case of preferred stock, those shareholders will be paid before common shareholders. That is the idea behind a preferred stock. You will also choose how many shares of stock the WY Corporation will have and how much each stock is worth in dollars.  You may enter a no par value if the stock is worthless at the current time.

Step 6

Enter the official corporate addresses for your Wyoming Corporation. You can use our registered office address in Wyoming to keep your information private. The mailing address is where you will receive registered mail for your Wyoming Corporation, plus 3 pieces of regular mail at no extra charge. If you want to receive more mail, you can upgrade to our Wyoming mail forwarding service.

Step 7

List the Incorporator information. This is a required step. Wyoming Registered Agent can provide this information when you order a new Wyoming Corporation through our filing service. 

Step 8

If you have any additional articles to file other than the required Wyoming Articles of Incorporation, you will have the opportunity to do so now. You can list such things as a purpose statement for a corporation, who the officers are and what their titles will be, or even the complete list of names for your corporation’s board of directors.

Step 9

You will now confirm your Wyoming Corporation filing information by e-signing the filing and making a payment with your credit or debit card.

Do not forget to download the PDF of your new Wyoming Corporation. A copy will also be emailed to you, and you will be able to download a copy from the Wyoming public database. This download will be free at anytime.
