Who can be a Registered Agent?
A registered agent can be an individual at least 18 years old who lives in Wyoming. An agent can also be a business entity, meaning a corporation, nonprofit corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, cooperative marketing association, statutory trust, statutory foundation, or registered limited liability partnership, whether foreign or domestic.[4]
An agent must have a business office, which will double as the corporation’s registered office address. A drop box or post office box will not suffice. A penalty not exceeding $500 can be imposed on any agent who cannot be located at the address on file with the state.[5]
Can I be a Registered Agent?
Yes, if you have a physical address in Wyoming.

Resigning as a Registered Agent
To resign, a registered agent may mail two copies of a signed Statement of Resignation to the Secretary of State for filing. There is a $5 filing fee.
By signing, the agent indicates that notice was sent to the corporation at least 30 days before the statement was filed.
