Wyoming and the NREMT

Initial Licensure and Reciprocity

Wyoming uses the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) practical and cognitive testing as the evaluation method for initial licensure for most licensure levels.  If you are obtaining your initial license, please contact your course coordinator for NREMT registration instructions. 

Wyoming accepts NREMT certification as a basis for reciprocity. To apply for reciprocity, please visit the Online Wyoming Licensure System (OWLS) at wyemlicense.com.
