How to change your registered agent in Wyoming

By Deanna Crossman, Wyoming notary public and founder of Sagebrush Corporate Solutions · Updated November 11, 2026

When to change registered agents

• Your current agent raised its renewal price or bundles services you don’t use.
• Your agent is resigning, closing or hard to reach.
• You’ve been using your own home address and want it off the public record.
• Your company was dissolved for having no registered agent and you need one to reinstate.

Step by step

1. Choose a new agent. Wyoming requires a registered agent with a physical street address in Wyoming who is available during business hours. A PO box doesn’t qualify.
2. Gather your company details. You need the exact company name, the Wyoming filing ID (shown on your record at wyobiz.wyo.gov) and your principal office address.
3. Sign the appointment. The company signs the Appointment of New Registered Agent and Office, and the new agent consents to serve.
4. File with the Secretary of State and pay $5.
5. Check your record. Search your company at wyobiz.wyo.gov and confirm the new agent and address appear.
6. Cancel your old agent. Tell your previous agent you’ve switched so you aren’t billed for another year, and ask them to forward any mail they’re holding.

What it costs

Mistakes to avoid

• Letting the old agent resign before a new one is appointed. A Wyoming company without a registered agent can be administratively dissolved. Reinstating a company dissolved for having no agent costs $350 in state fees, plus the $5 appointment.
• Listing a personal address. The registered agent’s name and address are public record.
• Assuming the annual report moved too. The annual report is a separate filing, due on the first day of your company’s anniversary month. See our annual report guide.
