Please make sure that all required documentation is submitted with your application to reduce the time it takes to process your license.

Your license renews every two years on the last day of the month of your birthday. 

For example, if you were born on July 4th and your license is approved on December 6, 2021, your first renewal date will be July 31, 2023. Your next renewal date will be July 31, 2025 and July 31 every two years thereafter.

In order to renew you must pay the fee and complete your continuing education requirement of 24 hours of continuing education, with 3 of those hours being ethics. You will be able to pay your renewal fees 60 days before the renewal date.

Renewals may be submitted through Sircon ↗

If you have missed your renewal date your license will be in a reinstatement period for one year. During that time you may reinstate your license by paying a late fee. The license will have the same expiration date as if it were renewed on time. Please note that all continuing education requirements must be met before reinstatement may be processed.

After the reinstatement period of one calendar year is over you must reapply for the license as if you were applying for the first time. For residents this means taking the licensing exam again and going through the fingerprinting process for a new background check.

If you wish to give up your license you may surrender it by filling out a voluntary surrender request form and emailing it to insurancelicensing@wyo.gov. Please note that if you surrender your license as a resident you will need to take the licensing exam(s) again if you would like to reactivate your license.
