Wyoming PT License Renewal: Annual Fee, Biennial CE Explained (2026)

Who This Guide Is For

• Wyoming-licensed physical therapists approaching their annual October 1 renewal deadline
• PTs tracking Wyoming’s 30-CCU continuing competence requirement, which runs on its own two-year cycle separate from the annual license fee
• PTs who need to retake Wyoming’s jurisprudence exam as part of their renewal cycle

Wyoming Renewal Overview

Wyoming physical therapist licenses renew every year, with the license fee — $100.00 for a PT, $75.00 for a PTA — due annually and the license expiring every October 1. Renewal can be completed online, paid by credit card, per the Board’s current fee rule. This differs from a common source of confusion: Wyoming’s continuing competence requirement (30 CCUs) runs on its own separate two-year cycle, not the same annual cycle as the fee itself. Don’t assume that because you paid your renewal fee this year, you’re also due for your CCUs and jurisprudence exam this year — check which year of your two-year CE cycle you’re in separately.

Current Board materials reviewed during verification do not clearly identify whether renewals are completed online or by mail for the current cycle. Applicants should contact the Board before renewing to confirm the current process.

CE Requirements

• 30 continuing competence units (CCUs) required every two years; one CCU equals at least 50 minutes of instruction. The reporting cycle runs from October 2 through October 1 of the second year
• At least 15 of the 30 CCUs must be Category A — live, in-person, or live audio/video connection courses from APTA (including its sections, credentialed residencies and fellowships, and accrediting subsidiary), State APTA chapters, FSBPT and its accrediting subsidiary, other providers approved by those organizations, or relevant Wyoming Department of Health/Department of Education activities
• Category B activities include self-study (correspondence, video, internet, or satellite), in-service education on safety or governmental regulation, teaching or lecturing principally for healthcare professionals, authoring or reviewing peer-reviewed publications, PT association or licensing board/committee work, and structured interactive group study — clinical instruction specifically is capped at 5 hours per cycle within this category
• Some activities are explicitly excluded from CE credit entirely: staff meetings or presentations aimed at lay audiences, routine teaching that’s simply part of your job, regularly scheduled institutional activities like rounds, breaks during instruction, and repeat credit for the same activity
• No CCUs may be carried over to the next reporting period
• Successful completion of the online jurisprudence exam, with a minimum score of 75%, is required every two years as part of the CE cycle — not a one-time initial requirement
• The Board periodically audits a sample of licensees and may request supporting evidence; if audited, you’ll be notified of your compliance determination within 30 working days, and you’re required to retain CE evidence for 1 year after the reporting period ends
• A hardship waiver is available for extreme circumstances (illness, disability, active military service, or similar) — request it in writing at least 30 days before your license expires

If Your License Has Expired

Wyoming’s rule doesn’t offer a tiered grace period or reinstatement window the way some states do. Under Chapter 3, Section 5 of the Board’s current rules, a license or certificate holder who fails to renew by the expiration date may not practice, and to get relicensed must complete the full initial licensing requirements again — the same Section 1 requirements as a brand-new applicant — plus submit evidence of 30 continuing competence units. There’s no distinction based on how long the license has been expired; the same full-reissuance process applies regardless. The reissuance fee is $250.00 for a PT license ($200.00 for a PTA certificate), the same as the initial application fee.

How to Renew

1. Confirm your specific renewal deadline and which year of your CE cycle you’re in — the license fee is due annually, but CCUs and the jurisprudence exam are only due every other year
2. If you’re due for CE this cycle, complete your 30 CCUs (at least 15 from Category A) and retake the online jurisprudence exam with a score of at least 75%
3. Renew online using a credit card, or check whether mail-in renewal is still separately available
4. Pay the $100.00 annual renewal fee
