Privacy and public record

Wyoming is popular because the Articles are relatively limited. Do not overstate that into “complete anonymity.”

Public or non-public records can still include:

• Registered agent and office
• Organizer information
• Principal or mailing address
• Tax registrations
• Bank onboarding records
• Beneficial ownership information when applicable

What the Articles do not do

The Articles do not:

• Create an operating agreement
• Apply for EIN
• Register for sales tax
• Register for unemployment or workers’ compensation
• File the annual report
• Open a bank account
• Prove trademark clearance
• Qualify the LLC in another state

After approval

1. Save the filed Articles.
2. Create and sign the operating agreement.
3. Apply for EIN if needed.
4. Review Wyoming sales tax license requirements.
5. Register for employer accounts before hiring.
6. Open a bank account.
7. Calendar the annual report due date.
