Wyoming Electrician License Renewal

Last reviewed October 2026 · 4 min read

Wyoming master and journeyman electrician licenses from the Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety (the State Fire Marshal's office) expire on a fixed date: a master license expires on July 1 and a journeyman license on January 1, in the third year after the year it was issued. To renew, finish 16 hours of approved training, at least 8 of them on the National Electrical Code, then apply in the State Fire Marshal's online portal and pay $100 (master) or $50 (journeyman). Within 45 days after the license expires you can still renew for $50 more; after that, you have to pass the exam again.

The license isn't the only thing expiring

Most lapses that cost contractors work aren't the license itself. They're one of these, renewing on a different date:

Your Wyoming electrical contractor license, if you hold one: it expires on July 1 following the date of issue and renews for $400, with a master electrician of record
General liability insurance policy
Workers' compensation policy (or exemption)
Certificates of insurance (COIs) you've given to clients and GCs
Commercial auto insurance

LicenseLedger keeps every one of those dates in one place and emails you before each one expires, with reminders far enough ahead to finish CE and paperwork.
