How to get your Wyoming real estate license

You must be at least 18 years old and hold a high school diploma or GED to apply for a Wyoming real estate license. A criminal background check is required — most non-violent offenses are reviewed case-by-case.

Note: Wyoming requires 54 hours of pre-licensing coursework — commonly delivered as the 30-hour Salesperson I course and the 24-hour Salesperson II course — plus the required Wyoming Law course, which providers typically bundle into their packages. All three courses must be passed. Important: Wyoming pre-licensing can only be taken through a WREC-approved provider (currently Colibri Real Estate, Steve Willoughby Seminars, Wyoming Real Estate Institute, or Wyoming Real Estate School) — national schools like The CE Shop sell exam prep for Wyoming, not the pre-licensing courses themselves.

• Enroll with one of the four WREC-approved pre-licensing providers (Colibri Real Estate, Steve Willoughby Seminars, Wyoming Real Estate Institute, or Wyoming Real Estate School).
• Complete and pass the Salesperson I course (30 hours of fundamentals).
• Complete and pass the Salesperson II course (24 hours of applied practice).
• Complete and pass the Wyoming Law course — required for every first-time applicant.
• Schedule the national and Wyoming state exams through Pearson VUE once your coursework is done.

Wyoming uses Pearson VUE to administer the licensing exam. You'll need a passing score of 75 (scaled 0-100) on each section. The exam fee is $160. Expect roughly 100 national questions and 40–50 state-specific questions. Format: Two sections: national (80 scored questions) and Wyoming state (40 scored questions). $80 per section at a Pearson VUE test center ($160 for both) or $90 per section via OnVUE online proctoring ($180 for both)..

• Start fingerprinting early: submit two physical fingerprint cards in a sealed envelope with a $39 certified check or money order payable to the Office of the Attorney General for the Wyoming DCI/FBI background check. Results are only valid for 90 days once issued to the Commission, so time this carefully.
• Pass all three required courses (Salesperson I, Salesperson II, Wyoming Law), then pass both the national and state exams through Pearson VUE.
• Submit your completed application to the Wyoming Real Estate Commission with the $300 license fee within 90 days of your last exam date.
• Include proof of errors & omissions (E&O) insurance — Wyoming requires every active licensee to carry it, either through the state group program or equivalent individual coverage.
• List your responsible broker on the application to be issued an active license; without an active broker affiliation and E&O coverage, the license goes to (or reverts to) inactive status.
• Once issued, your Wyoming license runs on a three-year cycle with 45 hours of CE per cycle.

Your Wyoming license stays inactive until a licensed broker sponsors you. Interview at least 2–3 brokerages, compare commission splits, training, and lead sources, and pick the one that fits your career goals — not just the highest split.
