Each requirement, and where it comes from
Minimum age
Each applicant for a Wyoming salesperson's license must have reached the age of majority, which Wyoming law fixes at 18 years old, before the commission will grant a license.

Pre-licensing education
A salesperson applicant must furnish evidence of completing not less than thirty class hours in a commission-approved course of study and pass an examination on each course; the commission's current curriculum splits this into Salesperson I, Salesperson II and Wyoming Law courses.

Sponsoring broker
A salesperson may not associate himself with a responsible broker until issued a license to do so with that broker, may not be under contract to any other responsible broker at the same time, and the broker must notify the commission when that association ends.

Background check
The applicant must give the commission fingerprints and the other information needed for a criminal history record background check under W.S. 7-19-201(a); in practice that means two completed fingerprint cards, which may be filed before or with the license application. A felony related to real estate practice, or any felony sexual offense or violent crime, may cost the applicant a license, and the commission weighs the nature of the offense, elapsed time, and any rehabilitation or restitution.

Good moral character
Licenses go only to people of good reputation for honesty, trustworthiness, integrity and competence. The salesperson application itself carries a statement from the responsible broker saying the applicant is honest and truthful and recommending the license, and a false statement of material fact anywhere in the application is on its own enough grounds to refuse the license.

Course content rule
The commission approves only courses covering real estate principles, real estate law, real estate finance and related topics, publishes the approved list and updates it annually, and evaluates a course not on the list when asked. It must also run a process for challenging a course instead of proving the class hours, so an applicant with prior study is not automatically made to sit through it.

Application sequence
The commission publishes a fixed order for a first-time salesperson: submit fingerprint cards, pass the Salesperson I course, pass the Salesperson II course, pass the Wyoming Law course, pass the National Exam, pass the State Exam, and only then submit the completed application. The application is the last step, not the first.

Exam registration
A first-time candidate must pass both a national section, allowed 2.5 hours, and a Wyoming section, allowed 1.5 hours. Each is scored on a scaled range of 0 to 100 with a passing score of 75 set by the commission, and the scaled score is not the number or percentage of questions answered correctly. Numeric scores are reported only to candidates who fail.

Retake policy
A candidate must wait 24 hours before scheduling a re-exam. Passing one section and failing the other means retaking only the failed section, but that section must be passed within six months of the section already passed. Miss the six months and both sections must be taken again.

Time limit
A complete license application must be filed within 90 days of the date the exam was passed, and where the two sections were passed on different dates the 90 days runs from the later one. Some supporting documents are only valid for six months, so an applicant who waits can find paperwork has expired underneath them.

License activation
An applicant for a license under 33-28-106 must submit proof of errors and omissions insurance coverage, either through the commission's group program or by certifying individual coverage that meets the minimum terms the commission sets, and must keep it in force. Separately, no applicant may engage in any real estate activity until the exam is passed and the license has actually been issued.

Reciprocity
An out-of-state salesperson holding an active license elsewhere submits fingerprint cards, completes the Wyoming Law course and the Salesperson II course, and passes the Wyoming state exam only; the previous national exam result may be accepted. The statute frames this as a like-license, not a waiver: a nonresident must hold the same class of license at home, be actively engaged in the business there, furnish a sealed statement of good standing with no complaints pending, and meet every other requirement of the act.
