The Wyoming Reservation of Name is a legal process used to reserve a name for a business entity in Wyoming. This reservation is valid for 120 days and can be extended for an additional 120 days. There are two types of Wyoming Reservation of Name: a name reservation for a business entity and a name reservation for a trade name. When reserving a name for a business entity, the name must include one of the following words or abbreviations: Corporation, Incorporated, Limited, Ltd., Corporation, Corp., Inc., or LLC. A name reservation for a business entity must also meet the requirements of the Wyoming Secretary of State's office. When reserving a name for a trade name, the name must be distinguishable from any other trade name on record with the Wyoming Secretary of State's office. Additionally, the name must include the words "trade name" or "doing business as" followed by the name of the business entity. The Wyoming Reservation of Name is an important step in the process of forming a business entity in Wyoming. It ensures that the name is not already in use and allows the business to properly register with the state.
