Amend or Dissolve a Wyoming LLC or Corporation
Wyoming charges $60 to amend or dissolve an LLC or profit corporation and $25 for a nonprofit. An LLC must amend its articles when its name changes or a statement in the articles becomes false (W.S. 17-29-202). We file amendments for $299 plus the fee and dissolutions for $449 plus the fee.

Amend or Dissolve a Wyoming LLC or Corporation: the Wyoming specifics
Amendments: $60
Use an amendment to change the name, correct a false statement, or add close LLC or DAO status to an existing LLC (W.S. 17-29-202, 17-25-103(b), 17-31-104(b)).

Close the entity with a dissolution filing so annual reports and license tax stop accruing. A corporation delivers articles of dissolution once dissolution is authorized (W.S. 17-16-1403).

In winding up, a Wyoming LLC applies its assets to its creditors first, including members who are creditors, before any surplus goes to members (W.S. 17-29-708).

A registered agent change is a separate $5 statement, not a $60 amendment (W.S. 17-28-102).
Check it: Wyoming Secretary of StateWhen Wyoming requires an amendment
An LLC must amend its articles when its name changes or when a statement in the articles turns out to be false or erroneous (W.S. 17-29-202). Other changes, like adding close LLC or DAO status, are optional amendments with the same $60 state fee. Ownership changes in an LLC usually do not require an amendment because members are not listed in the articles; they are recorded in the operating agreement instead.
Registered agent and office changes are not amendments at all. They go on a $5 statement under W.S. 17-28-102.

Closing a Wyoming company the right way
Stop doing new business, collect what is owed, pay or provide for debts, and only then distribute what is left to owners. A Wyoming LLC may also publish notice of its dissolution to start a period for claims to be presented (W.S. 17-29-704). File the dissolution once winding up is under way, and cancel any trade name ($10) and registered agent service so annual charges stop.
A company that simply stops filing annual reports does not close cleanly. It becomes defunct, which leaves a messy record and can follow the owners into later filings.

What an LLC amendment must say
W.S. 17-29-202(b) keeps the amendment short: the company's name, the date its articles of organization were filed, and the changes the amendment makes to the articles as most recently amended or restated. If you are making several changes, a restatement can replace the articles with one clean document; its heading must say it is a restatement and give the company's present name and original filing date.
An amendment is effective when the Secretary of State files it, unless it states a later effective date. Members of a member-managed company and managers of a manager-managed company who learn that filed articles were inaccurate are expected to fix them promptly, so treat an error on the record as a to-do, not a someday.

Winding up before you dissolve
A dissolved Wyoming LLC continues only to wind up (W.S. 17-29-702). That means paying or settling debts, finishing or closing out contracts, and distributing what is left. During winding up, the company may still sue or be sued, transfer property and settle disputes. The articles of dissolution state the company's name and that it is dissolved.
Before you file, check three loose ends: an active trade name registration in the company's name, a registered agent contract that renews yearly, and any foreign registrations in other states. Each one keeps billing or reporting until it is cancelled separately.
