Verdict
Licensure by endorsement
Wyoming publishes no agreement covering Pennsylvania, but it does evaluate out-of-state licensees individually — so this move runs on Wyoming's endorsement judgment rather than a guarantee. The requirements below are what the Wyoming Real Estate Commission commits to in writing; for anything discretionary (exam waivers, education credit), get the commission's answer in writing before you rely on it.
