Wyoming Secretary of State office — contact & fees
Updated August 2026
Quick Answer
The Wyoming Secretary of State's Business Division registers all business entities, processes annual reports, and administers the WyoBiz portal. Online LLC formations activate immediately upon payment; mail submissions are reviewed in the order received, with a maximum processing time of 15 business days. Effective July 1, 2026, the Business Division began offering paid expedited review for eligible paper filings under Wyoming Statutes Title 17, 34, and 40 — but filings that can already be completed online (annual reports, initial formations, UCC/EFS filings) are not eligible, since online filing is already near-instant.

Wyoming's new expedited filing service (effective July 1, 2026) applies only to eligible paper filings under Title 17, 34, and 40 of the Wyoming Statutes — it excludes filings that can already be completed online, such as annual reports, initial entity formations, and UCC/EFS filings, plus trademark applications and securities filings. Expedited fees are nonrefundable even if a filing is rejected, since they pay for priority examination rather than guaranteed approval.
UCC filing, notary, and apostille services
The Secretary of State also handles UCC filings, notary commissions, and document authentication:
- UCC search and filing — an official search is free; a certified search costs $10 per debtor. Filings run $20 (up to 2 pages) or $40 for longer paper filings.
- Notary public commissions — $30 for a standard notary commission, or $60 for an electronic notary public commission.
- Apostilles and authentications — $20 per document, plus $20 more for a certified business document like a Certificate of Good Standing.
