Transfer Your Psychology License to Wyoming: Reciprocity & Endorsement (2026)

Last verified: 2026-08-07 · source: Wyoming Board of Psychology ↗

Wyoming licenses out-of-state psychologists by endorsement rather than by any automatic exchange. The Wyoming Board of Psychology reviews your credentials and accepts your existing EPPP passing score; budget $600 ($600 non-refundable application fee payable to the State of Wyoming, plus a separate $39 criminal background check fee ($639 total as stated on the Board's application).) and The Board publishes no review timeline for endorsement applications. The application states only that incomplete applications remain on file for one year; the Board office is appointment-only and does not accept walk-ins. for processing. Wyoming participates in PSYPACT, but that only covers telepsychology and up to 30 days a year of temporary in-person work — it does not license you in Wyoming, and a move here still runs through endorsement.

Verdict

PSYPACT member — multistate license honored

Be precise about what you are actually trying to do in Wyoming, because the two mechanisms answer different questions. If you are staying licensed and resident elsewhere and want to see Wyoming clients by telehealth, Wyoming's PSYPACT participation is the relevant route and you never touch the Wyoming Board of Psychology — you work through ASPPB and the commission instead. If you are moving to Wyoming, or want an unrestricted Wyoming license for any other reason, the compact contributes nothing at all and the endorsement steps below are your path.

Endorsement, not full reciprocity: Wyoming grants no license on the strength of another state's license alone. The applicant must fit one of three published pathways — ASPPB CPQ, National Register/ABPP status, or five continuous years of practice on a license from an equal-or-greater jurisdiction — and W.S. 33-27-117(b) makes the examination waiver discretionary ('the board may waive any examination'), not automatic. Wyoming's fee is among the highest in the country at $600 plus a $39 background check. The general licensure application documents the substantive standards the Board applies: a doctoral degree from an APA-accredited program and 3,000 hours of supervised professional experience including a pre-doctoral internship; endorsement applicants are not re-counted on hours, which is why education_hours_required is null. Wyoming is a PSYPACT participating state (assembler-provided) and its Practice Act incorporates the compact at W.S. 33-27-201/202, requiring an ASPPB E.Passport and interjurisdictional practice certificate — that authority covers telepsychology (APIT) and temporary in-person practice (TAP) only and never transfers a Wyoming license.

Is Wyoming a PSYPACT state?

Yes — Wyoming was participating as of 2026-08-07. That lets a psychologist licensed in another participating state provide telepsychology to Wyoming clients under an APIT authorization, and work in person in Wyoming for up to 30 days a year under a TAP. It does not license you in Wyoming: relocating still requires endorsement through the Wyoming Board of Psychology.

Can I practice in Wyoming using PSYPACT instead of getting licensed?

Only within the compact's limits, and only if you are not moving. Telepsychology into Wyoming is covered by APIT; in-person work is capped at 30 days per calendar year under a TAP. Beyond that — and for any relocation to Wyoming — you need a Wyoming license by endorsement.
