Search by entity name (Starts With or Contains) or Filing ID after solving a CAPTCHA, then view filed documents free and order an electronic Certificate of Good Standing at no charge.

CAPTCHA required for every search
WyoBiz requires solving a CAPTCHA (visual or audio) before returning any search results. This blocks automated or scripted lookups — searches must be completed by a human through the browser.
What the search covers
The WyoBiz database covers all entity types registered with the Secretary of State: domestic and foreign LLCs, for-profit corporations, nonprofit corporations, limited partnerships, LLPs, statutory trusts, statutory foundations, and digital asset entities. Wyoming is one of the most popular states for out-of-state LLC formation, thanks to low fees, minimal disclosure requirements, and strong privacy protections for owners.
Search options
Two search modes are available:
- Entity Name — partial or full name, case-insensitive, with a toggle between "Starts With" and "Contains" matching
- Filing ID — direct lookup by the state-assigned filing identifier
No registered agent or officer search is available in the public portal. PDFs of individual filed documents are accessible after passing the CAPTCHA for most entities. Online payments for annual reports carry a 2.4% card processing fee (minimum $1); annual reports with fees exceeding $500 cannot be filed online and must be submitted by mail.
Annual report due date and fee structure
Annual reports for corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, RLLPs, and statutory foundations are due on the first day of the entity's anniversary month each year; statutory trusts are the exception, with reports due January 1 regardless of formation date. Reports may be filed up to 120 days in advance. Most entities pay a license tax of $60 or $0.0002 multiplied by the entity's Wyoming assets, whichever is greater — entities with $300,000 or less in Wyoming assets pay the $60 flat minimum. Nonprofit corporations instead pay a flat $25 annual report fee, and statutory trusts and statutory foundations pay a flat $100 fee, regardless of assets.
Electronic Certificate of Good Standing — free
Wyoming provides electronic Certificates of Good Standing at no charge through the Secretary of State's portal. A certified (signed) paper certificate costs $20. This makes Wyoming's good standing documentation one of the cheapest to obtain in the country for entities that can use the electronic version.
