Any corporation incorporated under the laws of any of the
several states of the United States for any purpose except
acting as an insurer as defined in W.S. 26-1-102(a)(xvi), or
acting as a financial institution as described by W.S.
13-1-101(a)(ix) may become a domestic corporation of this state
by delivering or causing to be delivered to the secretary of
state articles of domestication. Upon filing the articles of
domestication, the secretary of state shall issue to the foreign
corporation a certificate of domestication which shall continue
the corporation as if it had been incorporated under this act.
The articles of domestication, upon being filed by the secretary
of state, constitute the articles of the domesticated foreign
corporation and it shall thereafter have all the powers and
privileges and be subjected to all the duties and limitations
granted and imposed upon domestic corporations under the
provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act. A
corporation does not become a resident for the purpose of W.S.
16-6-101 through 16-6-118 solely because it becomes a domestic
corporation under this section.
