Issued by
WY Department of Insurance
Wyoming runs a 24-hour, two-year cycle with 3 hours of ethics included. The newer detail worth knowing is the carryover: as of January 2023, Wyoming lets you carry forward up to 12 excess hours - but only credits earned close to your expiration date qualify, which is a narrower window than it first sounds.
The Wyoming Department of Insurance oversees producer licensing. Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, biennially, based on your original licensing year, and the Department mails a renewal invoice roughly 90 days ahead. Extensions are not granted for any reason, so the deadline is firm.
The base requirement: 24 hours, 3 of them ethics
Resident producers complete a minimum of 24 hours of Department-approved continuing education during each two-year reporting period, of which 3 hours must be ethics subjects. The ethics hours count within the 24. As of January 1, 2023, the Department no longer assesses a separate continuing education filing fee to licensees.
The carryover window and a firm deadline
- Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, every two years, based on your original licensing year.
- Up to 12 excess credits can carry forward to the next term - but only if those credits were completed within 120 days of your license expiration date, and they carry as general credit, not ethics.
- The Department recommends completing all CE more than 30 days before expiration, since providers have up to 15 days to file your completions electronically.
- No extensions are granted for any reason - miss the deadline and the license expires and enters the reinstatement period.

Start tracking — freeThe multi-state angle
Wyoming's carryover rule reads generously at 12 hours but comes with a real condition: only credits earned within 120 days of expiration qualify. That is precisely the kind of fine print that gets lost when you hold licenses in several states, each with its own carryover cap and timing. Add a birth-month deadline and a no-extensions policy, and Wyoming needs its own deadline math. When you carry multiple licenses, no single regulator is tracking the overlap for you.
How CredTally keeps this on autopilot
- Track 24 hours with a dedicated 3-hour ethics bucket - the dashboard shows progress per requirement and tracks your carryover balance up to 12 hours.
- Multi-state producers: every license gets its own card, deadline, and reminders, so Wyoming's birth-month cycle never collides with another state's.
- Store every certificate in one private vault with the course it proves, so Department reviews and carryover claims are a download, not a hunt.
- Reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before each license's deadline - early enough to beat the provider reporting lag and the no-extensions policy.
- Export a dated PDF packet - summary plus every certificate - for an audit or carrier review in one click.
