How to Change Your LLC Name in Wyoming

Q: How do I change my LLC name in Wyoming?

A: File a Certificate of Amendment with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Your new name must include a required LLC designator (LLC, Limited Liability Company, LC, or similar variants per Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-108) and be distinguishable from all other business names on the Secretary of State's records under W.S. 17-16-401. File online at https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/Default.aspx or submit a paper form to the Secretary of State office in Cheyenne.

Name Requirements

Your new LLC name must:

• Include a designator: Limited Liability Company, LLC, L.L.C., Limited Company, LC, L.C., Ltd. Liability Company, Ltd. Liability Co., or Limited Liability Co. (Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-108)
• Be distinguishable: The name must be distinguishable upon the records of the Wyoming Secretary of State from all other business names (W.S. 17-16-401)

Before filing, search existing business names at https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/FilingSearch.aspx to confirm availability. If you want to reserve the name before amending, you may file a name reservation for $60.00, valid for 120 days.

Filing Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Amendment

Obtain the Certificate of Amendment form from https://sos.wyo.gov/. Complete the form with your LLC's current name, the new name, and required information.

Step 2: Submit Your Filing

File online through https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/Default.aspx or mail the signed form to:

Wyoming Secretary of State Herschler Building East, Suite 101 122 W 25th Street Cheyenne, WY 82002-0020

Step 3: Handle Trade Names

If your LLC operates under a DBA (doing business as name), file a separate trade name registration with the Wyoming Secretary of State ($100.00 filing fee). This is separate from the LLC name change.
