How to Renew a Real Estate License in Wyoming

In this blog, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about renewing your real estate license in Wyoming. From how long your license is valid to the full renewal process, fees, and continuing education (CE) requirements for salespersons, associate brokers, and responsible brokers—we’ve got it all covered.

How Long is a Real Estate License Good for in Wyoming?

In Wyoming, a real estate license is generally valid for three years. During that time, you’ll need to complete the required continuing education (CE) hours and renew your license before it expires to stay active. 

If your license lapses, you could face extra fees, interruptions to your business, and added steps to reactivate it—so it’s best to stay ahead of the deadline.

Steps to Renew Your Real Estate License

Here’s a quick overview of the renewal process. Be sure to give yourself enough time to finish your CE courses and gather any required documents:

1. Complete Required Continuing Education
2. Submit Your Renewal Application
3. Pay the Fees
4. Verify Your Updated License Status

Let’s take a closer look at each step.

1. Complete Required Continuing Education

The Wyoming Real Estate Commission sets different CE hour requirements based on your license type, but all licensees follow the same three-year renewal cycle. Here’s what you need to know:

Salesperson & Associate Broker CE Requirements

• Total Hours: 45 hours over three years
  
  • Required: 24 hours
    
    • Includes Annual Core (3 hours each year for a total of 9 hours)
    • Other State-Required Topics (15 hours)
  • Electives: 21 hours

Responsible Broker CE Requirements

• Total Hours: 53 hours over three years
  
  • Required: 32 hours
    
    • Annual Core (3 hours each year for a total of 9 hours)
    • Broker Management (3 hours each year for a total of 9 hours)
    • Additional State-Required Topics (14 hours)

Finish all required and elective CE hours before the deadline to avoid any last-minute hassle. 

When it’s time to choose a CE provider, consider US Realty Training’s partnered programs. They offer Wyoming-approved courses designed to fit your schedule—making it easy to stay compliant without the stress.

2. Submit Your Renewal Application

Once you’ve finished your CE, submit your renewal application through the Wyoming Real Estate Commission—most renewals are completed online. If you prefer a paper submission, contact the Commission for options. Don’t forget to include any required documents, like your CE completion certificates.

3. Pay the Fees

You’ll need to pay a renewal fee when you submit your application. Since fees can change, it’s a good idea to check the Wyoming Real Estate Commission’s latest schedule. That said, here’s a general idea of what to expect:

• Salesperson or Associate Broker: $350 for a three-year renewal
• Responsible Broker: $350 for a three-year renewal

If you miss the deadline, you may be charged a late fee—so it’s best to renew on time.

4. Verify Your Updated License Status

Finally, confirm that your renewal was successful. You’ll receive either a physical license or digital confirmation. Keep your CE certificates and any Commission emails for your records.
