Proof of status
Wyoming Certificate of Good Standing
A Wyoming certificate of good standing shows that your company is current on the Secretary of State's records. The Secretary of State makes certificates of good standing available online at no cost, and charges $20 for a certificate of existence, evidence or good standing on paper. Our $109 service confirms the record is current first, then orders and delivers the certificate.

Wyoming Certificate of Good Standing: the Wyoming specifics
Online: no state fee
The fee schedule notes that certificates of good standing may be obtained online at no cost. A paper certificate of existence, evidence or good standing is $20.
Check it: Wyoming Secretary of StateWhy banks and other states ask for it
Lenders, buyers and other states' filing offices ask for current proof of status. Another state's foreign registration usually wants it recent; Wyoming itself asks foreign companies for one dated within 60 days (W.S. 17-16-1503(b)).
Check it: Wyoming Statutes, Title 17Not current? Fix that first
A company that missed its annual report will not show as current. We file the overdue report or reinstatement first, then order the certificate.
Check it: Wyoming Statutes, Title 17What the certificate shows and when people ask for it
A certificate of good standing shows that the company exists on the Secretary of State's records and is current. Lenders ask for it before a loan, buyers ask for it before an acquisition, and other states ask for it when your Wyoming company registers as a foreign entity there.
The certificate is only as good as the record behind it. A company with a missed annual report shows as delinquent, so we check the record and fix the report or reinstatement first if needed.

Why our fee is more than the state's
The state does not charge for a certificate of good standing obtained online, and charges $20 for a paper certificate of existence, evidence or good standing. Our $109 covers checking your record, ordering the right certificate, and delivering it to you or directly to the bank or agency that asked. If you only need the free online certificate and your record is current, you can tell us that when you call and we will point you to it.

How the request works
Tell us the exact company name or Wyoming filing ID, who needs the certificate and by when. We confirm the record is active and current, then order the certificate that matches the request: the free online certificate when an electronic copy is accepted, or the $20 paper certificate of existence, evidence or good standing when the recipient wants a state-issued paper document.
If the receiving party needs an apostille or a certified copy of the articles as well, say so when you order. Those are separate requests to the state, and it is faster to handle them together.

When the record is not in good standing
A company that missed its annual report, owes license tax or has no registered agent will not come back as current. For a missed report on a company that is still active, we file the report first. For an LLC already deemed defunct or a corporation already administratively dissolved, the company needs a reinstatement before any good standing certificate can issue. Reinstatement is possible within two years, and for an LLC reinstated for unpaid fees it relates back to the date it was deemed defunct (W.S. 17-29-705(b)).
We tell you which path applies before you pay for the certificate, so you never pay for a document that will show a problem.
