What Is a Wyoming Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a person or company 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.
The requirements for a Wyoming Registered Agent are outlined in WY state statute 17.28.101. After your registered agent receives your mail, they are obligated to quickly and securely forward it to you. 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.

- Hire us and we’ll complete the change of agent form for you for free.

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. You’ll get a unique suite number and a Wyoming business address you can use for mail, advertising and more. While you can use our address, we are not a return depot for online or Amazon sellers, though we’d love to accept your foosball tables.
Don’t need a unique suite number? Our Wyoming Registered Agent Service comes with free limited digital mail forwarding. We’ll list our business address (no unique suite number) on your public docs to better protect your privacy.

No, we do not. As your registered agent, we allow the use of our address wherever it is accepted. We want your information to be as secure as possible. However, Amazon has changed its Terms of Service to start a business account and now requires additional documentation, such as utility bills, which registered agents cannot provide.
Definitely. You can’t form your corporation or LLC in Wyoming if you don’t have a registered agent.
Worried about hiring a registered agent before securing your business name? Don’t be. After you hire your Wyoming registered agent (or appoint yourself or another 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 once the state has approved your official name.
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.
Since a company’s registered agent information needs to be accessible, it’s a simple process to find a company’s registered agent:
- You can do a Wyoming business name search on the state’s website.
- Type in the company name you are trying to look up.
- Look at the WY registered agent name and registered office street address.
If you want to legally notify someone through their Wyoming registered agent service, just send a certified letter directly to the registered agent name and registered office address.
