Wyoming licensing

Who and what this applies to

Wyoming electrical-contractor licensing and recognition of contractor licenses issued by Wyoming local jurisdictions.

Thresholds and scope

Electrical contracting has a state program; local-license recognition is governed by 16-6-1101.

The rules

• The State Fire Marshal requires an electrical contractor to employ a Wyoming-licensed master electrician full time as master of record; that master may serve only one company. Electrical-contractor licenses expire on the next July 1 after issuance. Source
• Section 16-6-1101 requires an accepting Wyoming jurisdiction to recognize another Wyoming jurisdiction’s active contractor license when statutory conditions are met, including good standing, required financial assurance, and proof of the appropriate examination or equivalent certification. The accepting jurisdiction may deny recognition following its own prior suspension or revocation. Recognition need not confer privileges beyond a similar license type/class; additional requirements can apply for work outside that scope or competency level. Source

Deadlines

Meet the applicable state trade credential and local-jurisdiction recognition requirements before the covered work.
