Move Wyoming LLC to Another State

Wyoming LLC can be moved (domesticated) to another US state via Articles of Conversion in Wyoming and acceptance in the destination state. Common move: Wyoming to Delaware for VC rounds.

Answer

Moving a Wyoming LLC to another US state is done via "domestication" (where both states allow it) or via dissolving and reforming in the new state. Wyoming allows domestication to most other US states. Process: (1) member vote per operating agreement, (2) file Articles of Conversion in Wyoming SoS ($60), (3) file Certificate of Conversion in destination state (varies by state, typically $50 to $200), (4) destination state issues new formation documents, (5) update IRS records with Form 8822-B, (6) update banks. The LLC's EIN, formation history, and bank accounts typically persist. Total cost: $500 to $1,000+ depending on destination state and any attorney fees.

Domestication process (Wyoming to Delaware)

  1. Member vote per operating agreement
  2. File Articles of Conversion with Wyoming SoS ($60)
  3. File Certificate of Conversion with Delaware SoS (~$100)
  4. File Certificate of Incorporation/Formation with Delaware SoS (~$90 to $300)
  5. Designate registered agent in Delaware
  6. Update operating agreement to reflect new state law
  7. Notify IRS via Form 8822-B
  8. Update banks and payment processors
  9. Total cost: $250 to $500 in state fees plus attorney time if used

Alternative: dissolve and reform

If domestication is not available between the two states (rare), you can dissolve the Wyoming LLC and form a new LLC in the destination state. Drawbacks: loses EIN (you must apply for new one), loses formation date for asset protection arguments, loses existing contracts and customer relationships (must transfer or renegotiate).

When to move

  • Raising US venture capital (move to Delaware)
  • Operations significantly shifted to another state (move to operating state)
  • Significant tax advantage in destination state (rare)
  • Specific legal benefit (e.g., Nevada-tested asset protection structure)

Frequently asked questions

Does my EIN survive a state move?
Yes via domestication. The LLC is the same legal entity, just under different state law.
How long does domestication take?
4 to 8 weeks total including both state processing.
What about banking?
Notify Mercury, Relay, or Wise of the state change. They typically accept the domestication without closing the account.
Should I move to Delaware?
Only for specific reasons (VC rounds, Court of Chancery, institutional preference). Most operating businesses stay in Wyoming.
