Pennsylvania Foreign Registration · Wyoming LLCs

Taking a Wyoming LLC into Pennsylvania

A Wyoming LLC pays Pennsylvania $250 to register and needs no certificate from Wyoming. The yearly bills are Wyoming's $60 annual minimum and Pennsylvania's $7 report. Year one across both states is $317.

Wyoming and Pennsylvania side by side

Item	Wyoming	Pennsylvania
Recurring charge	$60 annual report minimum	$7 annual report
Home paper	$0 for the online certificate	Not requested
Original filing	Already formed	$250 registration
Agent or office	Wyoming registered agent	Pennsylvania registered office

A Wyoming company that pays its Wyoming minimum on time still has Pennsylvania's report to file by September 30.

Completing the items for a Wyoming company

Tick the LLC box in item 1 and give the Wyoming name, designator included, in item 2. Wyoming goes in item 3. A Wyoming address works as the principal office in item 4, and item 4A takes the Wyoming office address from the formation papers when there is one. The Pennsylvania office belongs in item 5, and series is answered no unless the LLC has them.

Why this pairing is simple

There is no certificate to order, the statement has no member list, and the annual report asks for a governor and the offices. Anything that appears on the filed statement or in a report is public.

Wyoming home-state upkeep

Wyoming's annual minimum is $60. Keep it current: a Wyoming company that is dissolved in its home state can have its Pennsylvania registration terminated.

A holding LLC with no Pennsylvania work

A Wyoming LLC whose only tie is an interest in a company doing business in Pennsylvania is not, by that alone, doing business there. Check the activity of the LLC before you assume registration is needed, and use the doing-business page to do it.

Year one in numbers

Registration here is $250, a first annual report adds $7, and Wyoming's own yearly minimum adds $60. Together that is $317. A same-day tier adds $100. Wyoming charges $0 for its online certificate, which Pennsylvania does not ask for.

What to have ready

Have the company name as Wyoming records it, the formation date, any Wyoming office address, the Pennsylvania office, an email address someone monitors and the name of the signer. No Wyoming certificate is part of the filing.

Common mistakes

Listing the Wyoming agent as the Pennsylvania office. Using a post office box. Missing the Pennsylvania report because the Wyoming filing falls in another month. Skipping the docketing statement.

A Wyoming address on the statement

A Wyoming address works as the principal office in item 4, since that item takes the place where the business is run. The registered office in item 5 still has to sit in Pennsylvania, and the annual report asks again for the true principal office.

Wyoming corporations and nonprofits

A Wyoming corporation registers on the same statement for $250 and advertises its registration in two newspapers, and a nonprofit pays $250.

Timing against the Wyoming report

Wyoming's annual minimum and Pennsylvania's report fall on different dates. Put both in one calendar, and start the Pennsylvania entry from the date the registration is filed, since the Pennsylvania report is due by September 30 for an LLC.

After approval

Keep the filed statement with the Wyoming records. Check that the Pennsylvania registered office is the address where mail will be read, because the Department sends its notices there and a provider receives no postcards. If the Wyoming company changes its name, the registration needs an amendment, listed at $250.

Order of work

Start with the Pennsylvania office, which is the one detail you may not already have. After that gather the Wyoming name and formation facts, complete the statement and the docketing statement, sign, and send them with the fee.

Wyoming LLC questions

Does Pennsylvania accept a Wyoming company without a certificate?

Yes. No home certificate is on the attachments list.

Can my Wyoming agent serve in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania wants a registered office address here, and a provider can supply one.

Is there one deadline for both states?

No. Each state keeps its own calendar, so diary both.

What does a Wyoming LLC pay in the first year?

$317 across both states: $250 to register, $7 for the first report and $60 for the Wyoming minimum.

Does the statement list the members?

No. It names the company, its addresses and the Pennsylvania office.

Can the registration start on a later date?

Yes. Item 7 takes a future date and hour, never a past one.
