Wyoming requires that your LLC name be distinguishable from all other business entities registered in the state. This tool guides you through checking name availability before filing your Articles of Organization.
To be approved, your name must: (1) contain "Limited Liability Company," "LLC," or "L.L.C.," (2) be distinguishable from existing entities, and (3) not contain restricted words without proper approval.
Even if a name appears available in the database, the Secretary of State makes the final determination upon filing. Having backup names is always recommended.
Your name must be clearly different from existing Wyoming entities. Minor variations like plurals or articles may not be sufficient.
All Wyoming LLC names must end with "Limited Liability Company," "LLC," or "L.L.C." (with or without periods).
Words like "Bank," "Insurance," "University," and others may require additional documentation or licensing.
You can reserve an available name for 120 days by filing a Name Reservation application ($50 fee).
While not required, checking domain name availability helps establish consistent branding.
