How do I get my insurance license in Wyoming?
Becoming an insurance producer in Wyoming requires passing a state-mandated insurance exam in the specific line or lines you wish to specialize in, as well as completing the following steps:
- Step 1: (optional) Consider completing a prelicensing course to better prepare for your licensing exam.
- Step 2: Schedule your exam with Pearson VUE at least 24 hours in advance. The quickest way is online at Pearson VUE at https://www.pearsonvue.com/us/en/wy/insurance.html, or you can call (866) 936-7786. The exam fee is $96 for a single-line exam and $113 for a combination major-line exam. Exams can be taken at a Pearson VUE center or via remote proctoring.
- Step 3: On the day of your exam, bring two forms of signature ID. The primary ID must be government-issued (driver’s license, passport, military I.D.) with your name, photo and signature, and the secondary ID only needs to contain a valid signature. These are required to take the exam. For remotely proctored exams, ensure you complete both the exam and survey to get your on-screen results and emailed score report. See Step 3 for ID requirements. After the exam, you'll receive a score report indicating "pass" or "fail." If you pass, you'll get instructions on applying for your license. Note: If you fail part of a combination exam, you must retake the entire exam and score at least 70% to be licensed.
- Step 4: Apply for your license online through Sircon at https://www.sircon.com/ or NIPR at https://nipr.com/ and fulfill fingerprinting requirements. A $39 fingerprinting fee for first-time resident applicants is charged with your application. After submitting your application and fees, the Department will send a fingerprint packet to your address. Arrange with local law enforcement for fingerprinting. Follow instructions provided in the fingerprint packet for further steps.
If you need assistance with any of these steps or have questions about specific requirements, contact the Wyoming insurance department for the most current information.
