The 2026 renewal period for Architects and Landscape Architects has begun.
Per Chapter 8, Section 2 of the Rules & Regulations: The initial license shall expire on December 31st of the year following the year of issue. Thereafter, each license shall expire on December 31st every two (2) years.
If you are due for renewal by December 31, 2026, please mail in a completed application with the appropriate renewal fee. Failure to receive a renewal notice from the Board does not exempt licensees from the renewal deadline.
Blank renewal forms can be found below:

Please contact Nik Armstrong at n.armstrong@wyo.gov with any questions or concerns.
Lastly, when contacting our office, please only leave one voicemail or send us one email. Multiple calls or emails will further delay response time and processing. Your questions are important to us, and we will do our best to respond as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time!
Individuals seeking retired status must apply for this designation and on this application, they must attest that they:
Have held a valid license as an architect or landscape architect (as is appropriate) in any jurisdiction for at least ten (10) consecutive years.
Have retired and are not practicing, and will not practice, architecture or landscape architecture (as is appropriate) in any jurisdiction.
Understand the retired license shall expire and be renewable on the same two (2) year cycle as their Wyoming active license.
Understand the Board Rules require that they list their occupation as retired on the board-approved renewal form and certify that they are not currently practicing, and will not practice, architecture or landscape architecture (as is appropriate) in any jurisdiction.
If you cannot attest to each of these 4 items, the Board does not consider you eligible for the Wyoming retired status.
If you do not wish to renew your Wyoming license, or you do not qualify for retired status, you can simply allow your license to expire. Frequent questions we receive regarding license expirations and their answers are as follows:
Q: Is there discipline associated with not renewing?
A: No.
Q: How do I let my license expire?
A: By doing nothing - just don't renew! Ideally those electing to not renew their Wyoming license will email the Board Office to let us know. You will still get renewal reminder notices as you hold that license until it actually expires.
Q: What if my license expires and I need a Wyoming license again?
A: There is no late renewal option in Wyoming. However, you have three (3) years from the date of your license expiration to seek reissuance of your expired license. This requires a reissuance application, $375 application fee, and 24 hours of HSW CEH earned in the 2 years prior to applying for reissuance. After 3 years, you would apply as if you were new to the state.
Q: Will the Wyoming staff miss me?
A: You betcha! Don't go!
