What happens if you don’t file a cancellation and just let your annual report filings go unfiled?

If you do not file your annual report and pay the required fee, you will receive a written notice of your delinquent status by mail, stating that you must be in compliance within 60 days or your business entity status will be revoked and deemed defunct.

If you just don’t file an annual report, how long before you lose your Certificate of Authority?

You forfeit your certificate of authority in 60 days from the date of the delinquency notice. So you lose your authority to do business in Wyoming in approximately 70 to 80 days from the due date of your annual report.
