How to apply
To secure your Travel Speech Language Pathologist license in Wyoming, you'll be working with the Wyoming State Board of Examiners of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. You will submit your application by mail after downloading the packet from the Forms Page. Before you start, I recommend initiating your background check and transcripts to get the ball rolling.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Download the Application: Head over to the Board's forms page and download the "Licensure by Endorsement" application packet (since you likely already hold a license elsewhere). This is a paper-based process, so you will need to print the form, fill it out in black ink, and prepare to mail it.
- Get Fingerprinted: You need to submit two (2) blue FD-258 fingerprint cards with your application. You can usually request these directly from the Board office or obtain them from a local law enforcement agency. Take these cards to a police station or a vendor like IdentoGO to get your prints rolled.
- Mail Your Packet: Once your application is filled out and your fingerprint cards are ready, mail the original signed documents and your application fee (check or money order) to the Board's office. Do not fax or email your application; they only accept original hard copies.
What You'll Need & Key Details
- Documents to Have Ready: A copy of your Driver's License or lawful presence document, your Social Security Number, and two completed FD-258 fingerprint cards.
- Items to Request: Official Transcripts (must be sent directly from your university), Praxis scores (request from ETS to be sent to the Board), and Verification of Licensure from every state where you have held a license (sent directly from those boards).
- Exams: You will need to pass a Jurisprudence Exam, which covers Wyoming statutes and regulations. This is typically an open-book exam included with your application process.
Initial Costs
Here is the breakdown of what you can expect to spend to get licensed in Wyoming:
- Application Fee: $100
- Background Check / Fingerprinting: $60 (approximate)
- Jurisprudence Exam: $0
- Verifications: $0
- Total Estimated Initial Cost: $160
Note: Fees are subject to change by the Board, but this gives you a solid estimate to plan your budget!
Renewals
When to Renew: Wyoming Speech Language Pathologist renewal happens annually and is due by December 31st.
Cost: The renewal fee is approximately $100.
Note: Watch out—there is no grace period for practicing, and late renewals trigger a significantly higher fee of $200.
CE Requirements
30 Contact Hours required every 2 years.
Deadline: December 31st of even-numbered years.
Live vs. Online: Great news for Travel Speech Language Pathologist pros: you can complete all 30 hours online! There is currently no limit on home-study or pre-recorded webinar formats.
Provider Restrictions: Courses must be offered by ASHA-approved or AAA-approved providers. General portals like MedBridge are accepted and recommended for efficiently managing Travel Speech Language Pathologist CEUs.
Mandatory Topics
- Ethics: (2 Contact Hours)
Excluded Topics: CPR, basic life support (BLS), office management, marketing, or any courses related to business operations and financial gain.
New Licensee Rule: If you are licensed during the first year of the biennial cycle, you are responsible for the full 30 hours. If you are licensed during the second year of the cycle, the requirement is prorated to 15 hours for your first renewal.
Reporting: Wyoming is an audit-based state. You are not required to submit proof of completion during renewal, but you must maintain your records and certificates for at least 4 years in case of a random audit.
