New Hampshire Foreign Registration › Wyoming formations
Registering in New Hampshire when your LLC was formed in Wyoming
For a Wyoming LLC the Form FLLC-1 fee is $100 and Wyoming's yearly minimum is $60, a first-year total of $160 in state charges. No home-state certificate is attached to the New Hampshire form, and Wyoming issues one at no charge if you want a copy for your files.
Wyoming beside New Hampshire
| Point | Wyoming | New Hampshire |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly requirement | $60 minimum | $100 report |
| Certificate | $0 if requested | Not attached |
| Entry | Already formed | $100 on Form FLLC-1 |
| Agent | A Wyoming agent on file | A resident agent here |
The statement you will sign
Article seventh affirms home standing, which means reports filed and fees paid. For a Wyoming LLC, check the Wyoming annual report before the signer acts. A free certificate from Wyoming is a quick way to see the standing the statement will describe.
A second agent
Wyoming's agent covers Wyoming only. New Hampshire needs one who lives here, with a street office.
Completing the form for Wyoming
Article first: the exact Wyoming name. Third and fourth: Wyoming and the formation date. Fifth: the New Hampshire business in a short phrase. Sixth: the agent and office. Seventh: the standing statement. Anyone with authority under Wyoming law signs.
The arithmetic
Registration is $100, or $102 online. With Wyoming's $60 minimum the year's state charges are $160. Had the LLC been formed in Delaware, the same year would cost $500, since Delaware's tax is $400. Our fee, $199, is extra.
What stays private
Wyoming records and New Hampshire records are separate public files. The New Hampshire report lists the managers or at least one member, the registered office and the principal office. Decide which names and addresses you are comfortable seeing there.
Case: a Wyoming LLC with a ski-rental shop in Lincoln
A Wyoming LLC leases a shop in Lincoln, hires seasonal staff and rents equipment to visitors. That is regular business in New Hampshire, and it registers before the season. It names a Lincoln or Concord agent, files Form FLLC-1, and reports each spring.
Case: a Wyoming LLC that only owns a lot
A Wyoming LLC that holds a vacant lot in Conway and does nothing else there is owning property without more, one of the activities that do not count. It may not need to register. Once it builds on the lot and rents or sells from it, the answer changes.
Wyoming and the spring window
Wyoming's report has its own date. New Hampshire's window closes April 1. Put both on a calendar, since the registration depends on the statement staying true.
Wyoming law keeps governing the inside
Wyoming law still governs how the company runs inside and what its members risk, and the statute says a mismatch with New Hampshire law is no ground to refuse registration. Your Wyoming operating agreement still controls how the company is run.
What to do if the name is taken
If another entity holds the name here, article second carries a different name and the trade name application adds $50.
Documents to keep in one folder
Store the filed New Hampshire registration, the Wyoming formation record, your agent's written acceptance and the reporting window note in a single folder.
Wyoming LLCs with several states
A Wyoming LLC working in New Hampshire and elsewhere should keep a table of registration dates and report windows by state. New Hampshire's window is January 1 to April 1, and other states differ.
If the Wyoming agent resigns
A Wyoming agent's resignation does not affect the New Hampshire agent, but it does affect the Wyoming standing that the statement in article seventh describes. Appoint a new Wyoming agent promptly.

After the Wyoming LLC registers
The first New Hampshire report belongs to the year after the calendar year in which the LLC registered, unless it registered between December 1 and April 1, in which case no report is due that year. It costs $100 and restates the registered office and agent. A late one adds $50.
Wyoming name or agent changes
If the Wyoming LLC renames itself or moves its formation, the amendment costs $35 on Form FLLC-2. Replacing the New Hampshire agent costs $15 on Form 10. A Wyoming professional LLC files Form FPLLC-1 for $100.
Wyoming corporations
A Wyoming corporation files Form 40 for $100, covered on the Form 40 page.
Ending the registration
Form FLLC-3 and the tax statement close the New Hampshire side for $65. Wyoming's report carries on. See the closing-out page.

Wyoming LLC questions
Do I attach a Wyoming certificate?
No. New Hampshire takes a statement on the form.
Does my Wyoming agent cover New Hampshire?
No. A resident agent here is required.
Can a holding company stay outside registration?
If it only owns without more, or only controls a company that does business.
