Licensing Division

 

Letters of Clearance

 

The Department will issue a letter of clearance to residents moving to another state upon request by the licensee.  The Letter of Clearance will be issued up to 90 days after inactivation of the license. 

 

The purpose of a Letter of Clearance is to indicate that:

 

  • A licensee held a resident license; and

 

  • The license was in good standing at the time of inactivation.

 

Form: Request for Letter of Clearance

 

Fee: None

 

Submitting Request:  Mail signed requests to the Wyoming Insurance Department, 106 E. 6th Avenue, Cheyenne, WY  82002.

 

Failure to Renew

Failure to renew for either nonpayment of continuation fee or noncompliance with the continuing education reporting requirement, the license was not in good standing upon termination.  The individual will need to bring the license into compliance prior to issuance of a letter of clearance.

 

Letter of Clearance and License Inactivation

If not previously inactivated, the act of processing a letter of clearance will inactivate a resident license and any qualifications associated with that license.

 

Exam Exemption for New Wyoming Residents Transferring a Nonresident License

The Department does not require letters of clearance from the applicant.

 

If an applicant is applying for a resident license and wants an exemption from taking the exam, the Department will access the national database to verify that the previous resident license was inactivated within 90 days and that license was in good standing at the time of inactivation.
