Starting point
Does Wyoming accept out-of-state teaching licenses?
An out-of-state license can open a path to Wyoming certification, but it does not transfer automatically. The state decides which certificate, endorsements, tests or additional requirements apply.
Your exact route can still depend on your license type, preparation, experience, subjects, grade levels and testing history.

What the state says
2 official sources
These facts come from official sources. The state agency still makes the final licensing decision.
Equivalent-standards review
Wyoming generally recognizes a source license when the applicant's accredited preparation, supervised teaching and licensing standards are equivalent to Wyoming's requirements.
Source-required exams transfer
PTSB accepts an exam that was required to obtain the source license or become eligible in the state where the preparation program was completed.
Core evidence
The application uses institutional recommendation, official transcripts, source license, applicable test scores, U.S. and Wyoming Constitution evidence, fingerprints and the required fee.
Alternative-route experience
An alternative-route applicant must document full-time teaching during three of the last six years in an accredited school while holding an active valid license in the same endorsement area.

Why your details matter
State websites describe the possible routes. The right one for you can depend on your license, preparation, experience, subjects, grades, tests, National Board status and compact eligibility. TeachPassport uses those details to work out your path and handle the steps it can do for you.
One thing to know: Traditional preparation must be accredited and include supervised student teaching and source-state testing; an alternative-route license requires three of the last six years of full-time teaching while fully licensed in the same endorsement area.
