How to verify a contractor's license in Wyoming

Wyoming doesn't license general contractors statewide — it licenses specific trades through the State Fire Marshal — Electrical Licensing (no statewide GC license), while general contracting is verified at your city or county building department. Here's how to check either, free.

Wyoming has no statewide general, plumbing, or HVAC contractor license — those are licensed locally by each city/county. Only electricians are licensed statewide (State Fire Marshal). Verify a GC with your local building department.

1. Get the license number + legal business name

Ask the contractor for their Wyoming license or registration number and the exact legal name it's held under. A real contractor gives this without hesitation — it's on their truck, estimates, and contract.

2. Look up the trade license — and check locally for a GC

For a licensed trade, use the State Fire Marshal — Electrical Licensing (no statewide GC license) directly. Wyoming has no statewide general, plumbing, or HVAC contractor license — those are licensed locally by each city/county. Only electricians are licensed statewide (State Fire Marshal). Verify a GC with your local building department. For a general contractor, Wyoming verification happens at your city or county building department.

3. Confirm the status is ACTIVE

Only an active (or current) status means they're licensed today. Expired, suspended, or revoked is a hard stop — and a contractor who let it lapse is telling you something.

4. Check the classification matches your job

Licenses are scoped to specific trades. Confirm the classification covers the work you're hiring for, and that the name on the license matches the name on your contract.

5. Check bond, insurance, and complaints where shown

Many boards also show bond amount, workers' compensation, and complaint or disciplinary history. A bond and active workers' comp protect you; an open complaint is worth a direct conversation before you sign.
