So I switched RAs about 6 weeks ago for my WY LLC. New RA filed the change, got confirmation from the state. But when I google my LLC name, the old RA's address still pops up on a bunch of those data broker sites. Is this just a waiting game or do I need to do something? Starting to wonder if the change actually went through everywhere.

Wyoming updates their own database pretty fast. The lag is almost always the third-party scrapers. Those sites update on their own schedule, sometimes months.

Yeah, welcome to the wonderful world of data brokers. They don't care that you changed it. I had my old RA address floating around for like 4 months after I switched. Annoying but harmless if the state record is correct.

^^ but also, double-chepck the state site itself just to be safe. If the state still shows old info then the filing maybe didn't go through. If it shows new info, it's just scrapers.

Which sites specifically? Some are easier to get removed than others. The big ones like Bizapedia you can usually email and they'll fix it if you show proof.

State site shows the new RA. So that's a relief. It's mostly those random LLC lookup sites and one of those people-search things. I'll try emailing the ones I can find contact info for.

Data broker removal is a whole side hobby at this point. You can also pay a service but honestly for one LLC it's not worth it. Just go down the list once a month and submit removal requests.

One thing nobody mentioned: some of those sites pull from old annual report data, not just the current registration. So even after removal they might re-scrape it later from an archived report. It's a whack-a-mole situation.

This is why I just use a mail forwarding address that's not tied to my home. Even if old info lingers it's not my actual address. Not perfect but lowers the stakes.

No such thing as perfect privacy lol. You just reduce the surface area.

Thanks all. Sounds like I just need to be patient and chip away at the removal requests. Appreciate the sanity check.

Also if the old RA was was a big commercial one, they might have their own directory listing. Check their website too, sometimes they have a client lookup you can ask them to update.
