Wyoming Secretary of State registered agent resignation form and filing instructions

How to resign as registered agent in Wyoming:

Wyoming has two registered agent resignation forms. If you are resigning without a successor registered agent being appointed, your first step is to notify the business entity of your resignation. A resigning registered agent is required to give notice to the represented business thirty days prior to filing the Statement of Resignation of Registered Agent. You submit this form in duplicate to the Secretary of State by mail or in person.

If a replacement registered agent is being appointed, you submit the Statement of Resignation of Registered Agent Successor Appointment to the Secretary of State in duplicate by mail or in person. Original signatures are required on these forms. The Successor Appointment form has a Statement of Change By Business Entity attached as page two that must be completed and signed by an authorized individual of the business.
If the resigning registered agent office address is on file as the principal office address of the entity, the registered agent will also need to file an Update Form changing the address to the last known address of the business. The Update Form is found on the Wyoming business forms page at the link below under “Miscellaneous,” or it can be found in your online account if you hire Northwest.
