Wyoming: bill requiring owner disclosure through registered agents fails

SF 82 would have required registered agents to keep the names and addresses of every company's owners. The Senate passed it in February 2026, but a House committee shelved it, so Wyoming LLC anonymity holds at least until the 2027 session.

Senator Barry Crago's SF 82 would have required registered agents to keep a register of the names and addresses of the owners of every company they serve (with exceptions for companies with more than 100 owners or a physical presence in Wyoming). The Senate passed it in February 2026, but the House Corporations Committee postponed it, and the bill died in the 2026 budget session.

In a March 19, 2026 release, Secretary of State Chuck Gray expressed disappointment and promised to keep fighting fraudulent LLCs. He estimated the law could have cut filings by 35–40% and cost the state about $23.8 million; in fiscal 2025 Wyoming processed around 830,000 filings worth $59.6 million, up from 675,000 and $50.5 million a year earlier. The Joint Corporations Committee will study verification technology modeled on Nevada and Delaware ahead of the 2027 session.

What to expect

Formally, Wyoming's no-disclosure regime remains. In practice, commercial registered agents are already tightening their own KYC and asking for passport copies and proof of address, which their contracts allow. A new bill in 2027 is likely.

Not legal or tax advice. Rules change, so check primary sources or ask a qualified advisor before you decide.
