How LLC Owner Information Appears in Public Records (by State)
When you register a Limited Liability Company (LLC), the state in which you file may make certain company details publicly accessible—particularly the names of individuals involved in the formation.
The individual or entity submitting the formation documents is typically listed as the organizer. In some states, however, the actual owners of the LLC may also be publicly identified. They may be labeled as organizers, authorized persons, governors, or members, depending on the state’s specific filing requirements.
It’s also important to note that some states may not require owner information to be listed at the time of formation but may require it later—such as in an annual report or other required filings. That information can also become part of the public record.
If maintaining privacy is a priority, consider using a third-party service to act as the organizer. In states that do not automatically list owners as organizers, this allows the third party to be named instead. This approach helps ensure that the actual owners remain anonymous in the public record. States in which you can apply this are Delaware and Wyoming.
Below is a state-by-state breakdown of how and when member information may be disclosed—whether during the initial formation or in subsequent filings such as annual reports.
