Two search methods can be utilized when searching for a specific business entity in Wyoming: by name and filing number. Aside from providing the information you have, you can also utilize the search criteria incorporated in each method to get a more refined list of results.

Keep in mind that these business entity searches are all for free and the information provided on the page supplied by the State Secretary can be accessed and obtained by the public as well. 

In addition, you can also use the platform to file or submit your annual report, which you can learn how in this post. You also have the option to purchase an online copy of documents for personal use. 

Wyoming Business Search by Entity Name

Step 1

Simply navigate to the Business Division page of the Wyoming Secretary of State Business Center page [1] to begin the search. On the page, you will be provided a field where you will input the name of the business entity you would like to search. 

You also have two parameters to choose from which are ‘Starts With’ and ‘Contains’’. Choose which of the two you prefer and click the search button to see results. 

Step 1

Step 2

After clicking the search button, a list of business entity names will appear on the page. These results are similar to the name that you have entered on the field. 

Scroll and choose the best result on the list provided. After you found the business entity, click on the name itself so you could further review the details and information of the entity.

Step 3

After choosing a name of a business entity from the results, you will now be routed on this last page. This page will generate detailed information about the selected business. Information provided on this page includes; filing history, registered agent information, and the current business status. 

Another type of search, specifically filing of annual reports is also available on this page. The option is located at the top right corner of the page. There are also options located at the bottom left corner of the page which includes additional details, history, public notes, and parties.
