What is RLLP-StatementRegistration?
The Registered Limited Liability Partnership Statement of Registration is the Wyoming Secretary of State form by which a partnership states that it registers as a registered limited liability partnership, naming the partnership, its registered agent and offices, and its business.
The statement has ten numbered items: the partnership's name (item 1), the principal office address and registered agent (item 2), the registered office and agent when the principal office is outside Wyoming (item 3), the mailing address (item 4), the principal office address (item 5), the business the partnership engages in (item 6), the statement that the partnership registers as an RLLP (item 7), the statement that one or more authorized partners executed it (item 8), a certification about electronic service of process (item 9) and the execution block with signatures (item 10).
The PDF packet starts with the Secretary of State's instructions page, revised May 2022, and ends with a one-page Consent to Appointment by Registered Agent (RAConsent, revised December 2021), which the registered agent signs. The instructions cite W.S. 17-21-1103 for the name rule and W.S. 17-28-104(e) for the email address and electronic service of process.
The form is the registration step only. Annual reports and other filings are separate, though the instructions note that annual reports are due every year.
Who needs to file RLLP-StatementRegistration?
A partnership that wants to register as a registered limited liability partnership in Wyoming files this statement with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Item 8 states that it is executed by one or more partners authorized to execute a statement of registration, and the execution block has room for three signers.
Other people involved:
- The registered agent. The agent must sign the attached Consent to Appointment by Registered Agent. The agent may be an individual resident in Wyoming or a domestic or foreign business entity authorized to transact business in Wyoming, with a physical address in Wyoming.
- Partnerships whose principal office is outside Wyoming. They complete item 3, giving the physical address of the registered office and the registered agent's name.
- Existing registered agents. If your agent's address on record does not match the address on this form, a Registered Agent Information Update form is also required.
The instructions say an email address is required under the circumstance specified in W.S. 17-28-104(e), and the contact block asks for an email address in every case.
When to file RLLP-StatementRegistration
File the statement when the partnership is ready to register as a registered limited liability partnership; no separate deadline is printed on the form. The instructions ask you to review the form before submitting it, because the Secretary of State's Office cannot process incomplete forms.
Processing takes up to 15 business days following the date the office receives the filing. Wyoming statutes do not allow expedited filing at this time, and filings are processed in the order received. You can see which day is currently being processed at http://wyobizo.wy.gov.
After registration, the instructions note that annual reports are due every year on the first day of the anniversary month of formation. If an annual report is not paid within 60 days of the due date, the entity is subject to dissolution.

- Consent to Appointment by Registered Agent (RAConsent): signed and dated by the registered agent, with the agent's name, registered office address, business entity name, daytime phone and email.
- Filing fee payment: a check or money order payable to Wyoming Secretary of State; the amount is in the instructions page.
