Wyoming ranking
You can read the weights on the
method page; three-year fees and coverage carry the most.
Best overall
1. Mainstay Filing: best for owners who may add a state later
$149 for the first year, and the same after that
Our first choice is Mainstay Filing. It costs $149 a year here and the same everywhere else; renewal is $149.
Over three years you would pay $150 more than you would with WY Reg Agent.com. Coverage is 26% of the score, though, and handling more filings outweighs that difference.

How Wyoming compares with the states near it in the ranking
The rules for a registered agent in Wyoming, straight from the statute
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a physical street address in Wyoming where the agent, or a person authorized by the agent, is present. Drop boxes, virtual addresses and mail-forwarding locations do not qualify; a P.O. box can be added only with a physical address.
The state will accept: A Wyoming resident 18 or older whose business office is the registered office, a business entity with an agency agreement with an individual who accepts service there, or a commercial registered agent (one acting for more than ten companies). The law is W.S. § 17-28-101.
Wyoming's recurring fees
What keeps coming back is the annual report, at $60 every year, first day of the LLC's anniversary month.
Our reasoning
Mainstay Filing wins on upkeep the price covers, which counts 26%, and WY Reg Agent.com is next.
Reach moved it ahead of WY Reg Agent.com.
