How to Get Your Wyoming Insurance License: Step-by-Step Guide
October 22, 2026 · PassReadyPro Team
Wyoming producers are licensed by the Wyoming Insurance Department. Exams are given by Pearson VUE, and Wyoming requires a fingerprint-based criminal history check.
Quick answer: Wyoming's Pearson VUE handbook lists $96 for a single-line exam and $113 for a combination major-lines exam, with 70% needed to pass. You must be at least 18 before sitting for the exam, pass within the 12 months before applying, and submit fingerprints with the fee for the criminal history record check.
Step 1: Confirm you're eligible
Per Pearson's handbook (the edition we reviewed is dated January 2023, so confirm current details with the Department), a resident applicant must be a Wyoming resident, at least 18 before sitting for the exam, free of acts that are grounds for denial under the Wyoming Insurance Code, and must pass the exam within the preceding twelve months.
Step 2: Prepare for the exam
The handbook lists no pre-licensing education step. Wyoming exams include a Wyoming-law section, and a course built on the Wyoming outline is the fastest way to cover it along with the general material. See the Wyoming courses →
Step 3: Reserve and pass the exam
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead at Pearson VUE's Wyoming page or by phone at (866) 936-7786; walk-ins aren't available. The handbook states a $113 fee for combination major-lines exams and $96 for single-line or limited-line exams, paid at reservation and non-refundable except under the change/cancel policy. You need to answer 70% of questions correctly to pass. After a fail, wait 24 hours before rebooking; online-proctored candidates are allowed two attempts per exam before later attempts must be at a test center.
Step 4: Apply and submit fingerprints
Submit the uniform application electronically through Sircon (sircon.com/wyoming) or NIPR, pay the license fee, and submit fingerprints with the fee for the Criminal History Record Check. The handbook says the application process must be completed within one year of passing. It doesn't list the license fee, so check the Department's site for the current amount.
