Additional Documents Needed
- Verification of NCCPA Certificate
- Citizenship & Alien Status Declaration Form
- Notarized Affidavit Form including photograph taken within past 3 months.
- Verification of all other state licenses.
- Three references (at least two from a physician).
Supervision Agreements
Any PA who is certified by the NCCPA does not need a supervision agreement in Wyoming, per WYBOM guidelines. This does not necessarily mean the facility you work in has no supervision requirements, but you will be licensed in Wyoming without a supervision agreement.
Temporary License
All PA applications are automatically considered by the board for the expedited temporary license. This review is done by the board every week on a Friday. Within 2-4 weeks, you should receive a free temporary license to allow your legal practice in Wyoming until the board meets quarterly for final approvals. In order to receive a temporary license, the below criteria must be met:
- Application Form completed.
- $200 Fee is paid.
- Affidavit form and Citizenship & Alien Status form are received.
- State license verification.
- Board completes their NPDB record search.
- Provider has been continually licensed in good standing for the previous 3 years.
Other Critical Steps
DEA Registration
You will need a Wyoming address on your DEA license. This is not a prerequisite for your APRN license to be granted, but you will need to register your DEA license in Wyoming prior to starting work in the state in order to prescribe legally.
There are two ways to ensure you have a DEA license registered in the state you will work in. Some providers decide to purchase an additional DEA license to devote to locums work, but most choose to simply transfer their existing DEA license to Wyoming immediately prior to their assignment starting. Whichever path you choose, you can apply for a new license or make changes to your existing DEA registration at the DEA website.
Keep in mind if you choose to transfer your existing DEA license to a new state, the process can take up to 5 business days so you must account for that transition time.
