The Anonymous LLC private at the state level.
An anonymous LLC is an LLC formed in a state that does not require member or manager names on the public state filings. Wyoming, Delaware, Nevada, and New Mexico are the four states most commonly used. The owner's name stays off the public state record, though federal BOI reporting (filed with FinCEN, not public) is still required.
An "anonymous LLC" is an LLC formed under state statutes that do not require disclosure of member or manager names on the public Articles of Organization. The LLC itself is on the public state record (entity name, formation date, Registered Agent address), but the individuals who own or manage the LLC are not.
How it actually works.
In most US states, the LLC's Articles of Organization must name the members or managers. That information goes on the public state record, searchable by anyone. In Wyoming, Delaware, Nevada, and New Mexico, the state statutes do not require this disclosure; only the Registered Agent and entity formation details are public.
The four anonymous-friendly states are not equivalent. Wyoming and New Mexico offer the strongest privacy and lowest fees. Delaware is more commonly used by sophisticated business structures because of its corporate law tradition. Nevada has historically been favored but fees have grown significantly (formation $425+, annual $550+).
Important: anonymous LLC privacy is at the STATE level, not the FEDERAL level. The Corporate Transparency Act of 2021 requires almost every US LLC to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with FinCEN, identifying owners with 25%+ ownership or substantial control. BOI information is NOT public; it is held in a restricted FinCEN database accessible to law enforcement and certain regulators. Anonymous LLC privacy still works at the public records level, but federal authorities can identify owners.
