US LLC formation for non-residents: Wyoming or Delaware.

To form a US LLC from abroad you need a Wyoming or Delaware filing, a registered agent in that state and, without an SSN, an EIN application. You answer the questions. LaunchUS prepares the filing, the LaunchUS Registered Agent service submits it to the state, and every step shows in your panel.

Frequently asked

These answers explain the process; they are not advice.

These answers are process transparency, not legal, financial or tax advice. Consult your own tax adviser about your obligations.

Which state should I choose?

You decide. Our comparison guide sets out the differences between Wyoming and Delaware as a decision framework.

Do I need to travel to the US?

No. The formation filing is prepared online; your identity and address details are requested in the form.

What if my company name is not available?

The form asks for a backup name. State rules decide availability; if the first choice is not available, the backup is tried.

What do I need to do after formation?

The state’s annual report or tax obligation continues; we remind you of the dates. For your tax obligations, consult your own accountant.

Can a non-US citizen form an LLC?

Yes. Wyoming and Delaware do not require LLC members or managers to be US citizens or residents. You form the company from abroad; LaunchUS Registered Agent provides the in-state address the state requires.

How do I choose a formation service?

Compare what the price includes (registered agent for year one, the EIN application without an SSN, the state fee on its own line), what renews every year and at what price, who files with the state and where your documents are kept. Our pricing page shows each line. All pricing
