Nevada
Nevada Secretary of State registers LLCs and corporations; each formation also needs an initial list of managers or officers and a state business license, and both repeat every year.
- The $75 LLC articles fee is only one of three required formation fees; the initial list and state business license are due with it.
- Nevada LLC filings name managers or managing members, so owner names may be public through the manager list.
- The LLC fee schedule PDF is headed 'Effective 7-1-08' and was last revised 12/12/2022 per its footer; the annual list and licence instructions are revised 7/1/2026.
Wyoming
Wyoming Secretary of State Business Division registers LLCs and corporations; both pay a $100 filing fee and an annual license tax of $60 or more.
- The annual license tax is never zero: $60 minimum, higher if Wyoming assets pass $300,000.
- Missing the annual report makes the entity delinquent; it is administratively dissolved if not filed within 60 days of the due date.
- Corporations list officers and directors in the annual report; the annual report may ask for officer or director details.
