Question 1

How much does Wyoming LLC formation cost?

Accepted Answer

$199 is the one-time GatewayBase formation fee. It includes filing your Wyoming Articles of Organization and registered agent service for the first year. Optional add-ons — such as EIN filing ($19 one-time) or Wyoming annual state filing ($99/year, including the state fee) — are listed separately at checkout so you only pay for what you need.

Question 2

How long does Wyoming LLC formation take?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on Wyoming state processing after we submit your packet. Many formations are complete within about 7 business days, but state queues can vary. GatewayBase posts status updates in your account while your filing is in progress so you can follow along without calling the state.

Question 3

What is included in the formation price?

Accepted Answer

Your formation package includes Wyoming LLC filing (Articles of Organization), registered agent service for year 1, and a company profile in your GatewayBase account. You can track progress, store documents, and add EIN or state filing services from the same dashboard later if you did not add them at checkout.

Question 4

What is a registered agent and why do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A registered agent is a person or company in Wyoming that receives official state mail and legal notices for your LLC. Wyoming law requires every LLC to have one. Your first year of registered agent service is included in the formation price. When that mail arrives, we scan it and upload it to your online account. Legal papers and state notices are always accepted, scanned, and uploaded at no extra cost. After year 1, registered agent service renews at the price shown on this page unless you change providers.

Question 5

What happens to registered agent service after year 1?

Accepted Answer

Year 1 is included in your $199 formation fee. After that, registered agent service renews at $39 per year through GatewayBase — the same price shown on this page at checkout. Billing is anchored to your formation date so the first renewal comes after your included year ends. You can switch to another provider anytime if you prefer.

Question 6

What is the Wyoming annual state filing add-on?

Accepted Answer

Wyoming LLCs must file an annual report with the state to stay in good standing. GatewayBase offers an optional Wyoming state filing service at $99/year that you can add during checkout or manage later from billing. That price includes both our filing service and the Wyoming state fee — you do not pay the state separately. This is separate from your IRS Form 1120 and 5472 filing, which covers federal tax reporting.

Question 7

Can I add an EIN application later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add EIN filing during checkout or start it from your company dashboard after formation. The EIN add-on is $19 one-time and uses the same foreign-owner SS-4 workflow as our standalone EIN application page. Many new LLC owners add it so they can open a US bank account sooner.

Question 8

Do I need a US address or SSN to form a Wyoming LLC?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to live in the US or have a US Social Security Number to start a Wyoming LLC through GatewayBase. Wyoming requires a registered agent with a Wyoming address, which is included in your formation package for year 1. If you add EIN filing, we guide you through the foreign-owner path on Form SS-4 in plain English.

Question 9

Can non-US residents form a Wyoming LLC online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GatewayBase is built for founders who live outside the United States. You create an account, answer plain-language questions about your LLC name and owners, pay online, and we submit the formation paperwork to Wyoming. You do not need to travel to the US or visit a Wyoming office.

Question 10

I already have a US LLC. Can I use this page?

Accepted Answer

This page is for starting a new Wyoming LLC only. If your company already exists — in Wyoming or another state — create a GatewayBase account and add it for free during onboarding instead. From there you can start an EIN application or yearly Form 1120 and 5472 filing for that existing company.

Question 11

Does GatewayBase provide legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. GatewayBase provides document preparation and filing workflow software. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. Wyoming formation rules and your personal tax situation can vary, so speak with a qualified professional if you need advice beyond what the software prepares.
