The Wyoming Certificate of Authority is a document that is filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State in order to authorize a business to operate in the state of Wyoming. It is required for any business entity that wants to transact business in Wyoming, including partnerships, limited liability companies (LCS), corporations, and other business types. There are two types of Wyoming Certificate of Authority: the Initial Certificate of Authority and the Renewal Certificate of Authority. The Initial Certificate of Authority is used when a business entity is first setting up operations in Wyoming, while the Renewal Certificate of Authority is used to renew the entity's authority to operate in Wyoming each year. Both documents must be filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State, along with the required filing fee.
