Anonymous LLC: Only 4 States Hide Your Name
In this video
- New Mexico: $50 once, no annual report. Wyoming: $60 a year, with charging order protection. Delaware and Nevada cost more
- Nevada is the one to check before you file: its annual list names a manager or managing member on the public record every year
- Anonymity stops at the bank. KYC means your name is known no matter which state you filed in, and that is by design
Gemini Summary
A 45-second run through the states marketed as anonymous LLC states: New Mexico at $50 once with no annual report, Wyoming at $60 a year with charging order protection, and Delaware and Nevada at a higher cost. Closes on the limit that matters — your bank still knows who you are, because KYC applies no matter which state you file in.
Notes
The short runs through the states that get marketed as anonymous LLC states and what each one costs: New Mexico at $50 once with no annual report, Wyoming at $60 a year with charging order protection, and Delaware and Nevada at a higher price.
One name on that list deserves a second look before you file. Nevada's annual list names a manager or managing member on a public filing every year, which is what our state comparison found when we checked each state against what it actually collects and publishes. If the reason you are picking a state is privacy, that is the detail that decides it.
The closing point survives every state choice: your bank still knows your name. KYC is not something a different state of formation gets around, and no anonymous filing changes it.
