Wyoming licenses occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants through the Wyoming Board of Occupational Therapy. Applications are mailed originals, not copies. Everything below comes from the board's own pages and rules, checked October 18, 2026. Fees and rules change, so confirm on the linked pages before you pay.
Check with your board. OT Ticket is a study aid, not clinical or legal guidance. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), AOTA, ACOTE, the OT Compact Commission or any state board; NBCOT, OTR and COTA are their marks, used here only to name the exam.

Wyoming, step by step
Wyoming Board of Occupational Therapy
Apply by examination once you have NBCOT certification: mail the signed original application with a current photograph, the proof of lawful presence form, and the fee ($225 OT, $175 OTA) to the board.
License verifications: request an official verification from every state where you hold an OT or OTA license.
Limited license (optional): recent graduates of an accredited program who are waiting to sit for the exam or for results file the Limited License Application, then the Full Licensure by Completing Limited License application once they pass.
Compact: Wyoming has enacted the OT Compact but is not accepting privilege applications yet.
Every state licenses occupational therapists and OT assistants on NBCOT certification: an ACOTE-accredited degree with its Level II fieldwork, then NBCOT's exam (the OTR exam for OTs, 180 questions in 4 hours; the COTA exam for OT assistants, 190 questions in 4 hours; 450 on a 300-600 scale passes; $540 to apply online). NBCOT certification is not a license: you apply to your state board separately, and NBCOT sends the board your score (the Score Transfer is free if you add it when you apply for the exam, $35 later).
