Wyoming Speech-Language Pathologist Licensing Guide

Wyoming SLP License Overview

Wyoming has joined the ASLP-IC, but the state is not yet issuing or honoring compact privileges. Until Wyoming begins processing privileges, travelers must obtain a Wyoming-specific license through the endorsement process before practicing here.

Wyoming IS an enacted ASLP-IC member state, but the compact is NOT operational in Wyoming as of early 2026. ASLP-IC privileges are currently only being issued for Louisiana, Ohio, and West Virginia. Travelers to Wyoming today must obtain a state-specific license by endorsement; plan ~5-8 weeks (2-3 wk review + 3-5 wk background) with no temporary license available.

How to Get a Wyoming SLP License by Endorsement

How Speech-Language Pathologists already licensed in another state apply in Wyoming: Paper application by mail. You'll need to submit your completed application along with supporting documents and the $300 application fee.

1. Submit endorsement application via Wyoming board portal
2. Request license verification from current state (via ASHA or direct) (can run concurrently)
3. Complete any state-specific requirements (background check, etc.) (can run concurrently)
4. Await board review and license issuance

License verification: Direct verification from each licensing jurisdiction (mailed or emailed to [email protected]); ASHA/ABA certification verification sent directly from ASHA/ABA to the Board. Request verification early so your application is not delayed.

Background check: FD-258 fingerprint cards (2 copies) submitted with application; fingerprints must be taken within 6 months of submission. Submit your fingerprinting authorization as early as possible.

Check the Wyoming State Board of Examiners of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology website for status updates on your application.

Wyoming Temporary SLP License

We have not found a temporary license option on the Wyoming State Board of Examiners of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology's site. Confirm with the board before planning a start date.

Wyoming SLP License Processing Time

Wyoming Speech-Language Pathologist endorsement applications typically take 5-8 weeks: 2-3 weeks application review PLUS 3-5 weeks background check turnaround to process.

In the best-case scenario, processing can be as fast as ~5 weeks at minimum (2 wk review + 3 wk background, both serial dependencies).

Common sources of delay:

• Verification from current state license holder can take 2-3 weeks if ASHA verification is requested instead of direct board contact
• Board processes applications on rolling basis but may batch review monthly, creating variable processing windows
• Missing or incomplete documentation (transcripts, verification forms) causes full application restart at step 1, adding 3-4 weeks per resubmission

We have not found an expedited processing option on the Wyoming State Board of Examiners of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology's site. The best way to minimize your wait time is to ensure all application components — fingerprints, verification, and any required exams — are completed before or immediately after submitting your application.
