Wyoming Insurance License Types
Whether you are earning your initial Wyoming insurance producer license or managing ongoing compliance for an active brokerage, this comprehensive guide outlines all key state standards.

| Personal Lines Producer | Personal automobile and residential property policies without commercial writing authority. |

| Adjuster License | Investigating, negotiating, and resolving property and casualty insurance claims. |
How to Get a Wyoming Insurance License
Step 1: Exam Preparation
Wyoming does not mandate a formal classroom prelicensing curriculum prior to taking the state exam, but completing comprehensive exam preparation through recognized providers such as Kaplan, ExamFX, or AD Banker is strongly recommended. Study packages generally range between $150 and $400 depending on your preferred study format.
Step 2: Pass the State Licensing Exam
Wyoming insurance licensing examinations are administered through Pearson VUE. The examination tests national insurance principles alongside Wyoming specific insurance statutes and administrative regulations under Title 26. A passing score of 70 percent or higher is required.
Step 3: Complete Fingerprinting and Submit Application
Following a passing examination score, submit your official producer application online via Sircon or NIPR. The state licensing application fee is $100. Resident applicants must also complete a state and FBI criminal background check with digital fingerprinting through authorized law enforcement agencies or vendor testing centers and submit fingerprint cards directly to the Wyoming Department of Insurance.
The Wyoming Department of Insurance typically approves complete electronic applications within 3 to 7 business days once Pearson VUE exam scores and criminal background checks clear. Submit your fingerprint packet to the Department immediately upon passing your exam to prevent licensing holds.
Wyoming License Renewal and CE Requirements
Individual producer licenses in Wyoming are renewed every 2 years, expiring on the last day of the producer birth month in even numbered years for even birth years, or odd numbered years for odd birth years. Completing your required continuing education well ahead of the deadline ensures uninterrupted authority to bind coverage.
