(i) The legal name of the applicant;
(ii) The applicant's physical street address of its registered office in this state where service may be made. A separate mailing address may be included in addition to the physical street address;
(iii) Whether the applicant, or in the case of a corporation or other business entity its officers or directors, members, partners or persons serving in a similar capacity, has ever been convicted of a felony;

(vii) Other information the secretary of state deems appropriate in the registration and identification of registered agents.
(b) Every applicant for registration shall pay a filing fee as set by rule adopted pursuant to this chapter. The fee, other than the late filing fee provided in subsection (c) of this section, shall be designed to recover the cost of administering the provisions of this chapter relating to registered agents. If an application is withdrawn or denied, the secretary of state shall retain the entire fee.

(iii) Any person who acts as a commercial registered agent after the expiration of his registration on December 31 of each year and willfully or by neglect fails to renew such registration as provided in this subsection shall be acting in violation of this act. Renewal of a commercial agent registration after December 31 shall be accompanied by a late renewal fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00) plus an administrative fee which reflects the reasonable costs incurred by the secretary of state for notification of the entities, represented by the commercial registered agent, classified as delinquent awaiting administrative dissolution, revocation or forfeiture of its authority to transact business as provided in W.S. 17-28-103(f);
(iv) All fees shall be paid in full prior to any reregistration as a commercial registered agent.
