What Is a Wyoming Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a person or comapny that accepts state and legal mail on behalf of a business. Any business registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State is required to have a registered agent.
After your registered agent receives your mail, they are obliged to quickly and securely forward you your mail. At a minimum, your registered agent must list a physical address on the public record and be present at that address during business hours. But ideally, your registered agent should do more.

Wyoming Registered Agent FAQs
Yes, you can be your own registered agent in Wyoming. However, after considering the registered agent requirements most business owners elect to hire a registered agent service instead. Why? Well although being your own registered agent will cost you $0 upfront, a registered agent’s name and address becomes part of the public record. Additionally, the registered agent is required to be available to accept service of process during normal business hours five days a week.
Our Wyoming registered office is in Sheridan, WY. The registered office is the actual, physical address of the registered agent. This is the address where all official mail and services of process will be delivered and received. This is also the address that will be listed as the business’s contact on the WY Secretary of State’s public records.
Yes! We’re the only national registered agent service that allows our clients to list our address for everything on a filing to help keep your address private.
Yes! Just sign up for our unlimited Wyoming Mail Forwarding option ($20/month). You’ll get a unique suite number and a Wyoming business address you can use for mail, advertising and more.

Definitely. You can’t form your corporation or LLC in Wyoming if you don’t have a registered agent. Although some are confused when they hire a registered agent before forming their business, as they think they’ll need their business’s official name first. But there’s no need worry. After you hire your Wyoming registered agent (or appoint yourself or other individual) and fill out the Consent to Appointment by Registered Agent, if you find that your proposed business name isn’t available with the Secretary of State, you can always choose another one—just let your registered agent know.
A process server will deliver a summons notice and a complaint form to your registered agent. The summons notice is basically instructions for how to respond to the lawsuit. The complaint form outlines who is suing, the reason they’re suing, and what the person or entity suing you wants in compensation (i.e., how much money they want from you). These documents are delivered to your Wyoming registered agent’s address, where your registered agent signs for the server’s documents, acknowledging receipt of the lawsuit.
If you’ve hired Northwest Registered Agent, within minutes of receiving service of process, we’ll upload the document to your account and you’ll instantly receive an email prompting you to log into your account and take action.
