License and Certificate Renewal
General Instructions
Licenses and certificates expire on the holder's date of birth every two (2) years. Notices for renewal are mailed to each person at their last address of record approximately sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date. Paper renewal applications must be POST MARKED on or prior to the expiration date (or on the next business day in cases when the expiration date falls on a weekend or holiday) in order for a license or certificate to remain current. Any paper renewal application postmarked after the appropriate date will be returned and the license or certificate will become null and void. Online renewal applications must be submitted and paid by midnight on the expiration date.
The Wyoming Administrative Procedures Act, in 16-3-113 states that:
"(b) When a licensee has made timely and sufficient application for the renewal of a license or a new license with reference to any activity of a continuing nature, the existing license does not expire until the application has been finally determined by the agency, and, in case the application is denied or the terms of the new license limited, until the last day for seeking review of the agency order or a later date fixed by order of the reviewing court."
What this means is that as long as a person has made timely and sufficient application for the renewal of their license or certificate they are permitted to continue to provide the services allowed under that license or certificate while the decision on the renewal application is pending.
When the renewal application is approved, the license or certificate is renewed for two (2) calendar years, again expiring on the date of birth. The holder will receive a confirmation letter and two (2) new pocket ID cards.

Paper Renewal
Change of Address
If you have had a change of address or phone number, business and/or residence, within the last two (2) years, please contact us with that information to ensure that you will receive the renewal notice. Failure to receive a notice from the Board does not excuse you from the requirement for timely and proper renewal. You may send the change of address to the Board in writing by mail, fax (307) 777-3508, or e-mail WyoMHPLB@wyo.gov.
Continuing Education
Continuing Education is required for renewal. Specific information can be found in Chapter 14 of the Rules and Regulations.
Failure to Renew
The Board's governing statutes do not provide for a late renewal. If you do not renew your license or certificate by to the expiration date, you are no longer legally eligible to provide mental health services in the State of Wyoming and you must cease and desist those activities.
Re-application for Licensure or Certification
You may re-apply within five (5) years of your expiration date without being required to repeat the examination. However, you will be required to meet all other standards in place at the time of your re-application. After five (5) years you must apply as a new applicant and you may be required to repeat the examination. The instructions and applications are available on our web page.
