17-19-1533. Reinstatement following revocation.
(a) A foreign corporation whose certificate of authority has been revoked under W.S. 17-19-1531 may apply to the secretary of state for reinstatement within two (2) years after the effective date of the revocation. Reinstatement may be denied by the secretary of state if the corporation has been the subject of a secretary of state and law enforcement investigation pertaining to fraud or any other violation of state or federal law, or if there is other reason to believe the foreign corporation has engaged in illegal operations. The application shall:
(i) Recite the name of the foreign corporation and the effective date of the revocation of its certificate of authority;
(ii) State that the grounds for revocation either did not exist or have been eliminated;
(iii) If the foreign corporation's certificate of authority was revoked for failure to deliver its annual report or pay annual license taxes to the secretary of state when due pursuant to W.S. 17-19-1630, include payment of a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) reinstatement fee and payment of any fees and taxes then delinquent; and
(iv) If the foreign corporation's certificate of authority was revoked for failure to maintain a registered agent, include payment of a one hundred fifty dollar ($150.00) reinstatement fee and payment of any fees and taxes then delinquent.
(b) If the secretary of state determines that the application contains the information required by subsection (a) of this section and that the information is correct, the secretary of state shall cancel the revocation, prepare a certificate of reinstatement reciting that determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the corporation pursuant to W.S. 17-28-104.
(c) When reinstatement is effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the revocation and the foreign corporation may resume carrying on its activities as if the revocation had not occurred.
(d) A foreign corporation may retain its registered corporate name during the two (2) year reinstatement period.
