Can You Be Your Own Registered Agent in Wyoming? Yes, If You Meet These Rules

Generally yes, if you are an individual who meets the Wyoming rule below: 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). Check with the Wyoming Secretary of State before you file.

The Wyoming rule

Who can serve: 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 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 LLC itself cannot be its own agent in Wyoming; an individual or another business serves. Changing agents in Wyoming costs $5. Source: W.S. § 17-28-101, checked October 20, 2026.

The trade-offs

  • Your Wyoming address goes on the public filing.
  • Papers are handed to you at that address, so you need to be there when the state’s rule says.
  • If you move, you file a change of agent ($5 in Wyoming).
