The Wyoming LLC reinstatement fee is $100 when the company went defunct for unpaid annual report tax, plus the delinquent license taxes, and $350 when it lost its registered agent. Reinstatement is available within two years of forfeiture, and the LLC keeps its name during that period (W.S. 17-29-705).

Why Wyoming LLCs go defunct
There are two common paths. The first is the money path: the annual report license tax is not paid. After notice, the company has 60 days to comply before it is deemed defunct (W.S. 17-29-705(b)). The second is the agent path: the registered agent resigns or the company otherwise has no registered agent or office in Wyoming. The same 60-day notice applies, and then the company forfeits its articles (W.S. 17-29-705(a)).
The statute also allows forfeiture for false filings, ignoring a valid subpoena, failing to provide required records to the registered agent, or being impossible to serve (W.S. 17-29-705(c)). Those cases are less common and usually need more than a payment to fix.

The state fees, side by side
For an LLC, the Business Division fee schedule effective July 1, 2026 lists reinstatement for tax at $100 and reinstatement for no registered agent at $350. Profit corporations are $100 and $250. Nonprofit corporations are $25 and $150. On a tax reinstatement, the delinquent license taxes for each missed year are paid as well, at $60 or more per year depending on Wyoming assets.
Example: an LLC that missed two annual reports, with Wyoming assets under $300,000 each year, owes $100 plus two years at $60, or $220 in state amounts. Our reinstatement service is $299 on top of the state amounts.

The two-year window and the name
The statute allows revival at any time within two years after forfeiture, and the company keeps its registered name during that period (W.S. 17-29-705(a)). After two years, the name may be taken by another filer and you may need to form a new company. If you are close to the two-year mark, act now rather than after the deadline.
For a tax forfeiture, reinstatement relates back to the date the company was deemed defunct, and the company carries on as if it had never been defunct (W.S. 17-29-705(b)).

How reinstatement works with us
We look up the record, confirm the cause and the forfeiture date, and total the state amounts. If the cause was the registered agent, we appoint ours ($199 per year) so the company has a Wyoming street address again. We prepare the reinstatement, include the delinquent reports, and file. After it is accepted, we calendar your next annual report.
