Wyoming CPA License Reinstatement: What a Lapsed License Costs

If your Wyoming CPA license has already lapsed

What it actually takes to get a lapsed Wyoming CPA license back — the fee, the catch-up CPE, and exactly what triggers "lapsed" in the first place. Sourced the same way every fact on this site is: a board page plus the codified rule itself, never a guess.

Reinstatement Fee

$300

'Activate From Expired Status' fee (061-1 Wyo. Code R. Sec1-13), confirmed on both the board's reactivate-certificate page and the codified fee schedule. A separate, much higher $1,000 'Reinstate' fee applies only to a REVOKED or SUSPENDED certificate via a disciplinary hearing -- not an ordinary missed-renewal lapse.

Catch-Up CPE Required

No extra CPE beyond the standard 120 credits over the prior 3 years already required for normal renewal (061-5 Wyo. Code R. Sec5-6).
4 ethics hours, within that total.

Source of record 061-3 Wyo. Code R. Sec3-6 (Renewal); fee at 061-1 Wyo. Code R. Sec1-13; reactivation CPE at 061-5 Wyo. Code R. Sec5-6 read the rule →

What triggers lapsed status: All certificates expire December 31 each year. Failing to complete online renewal (fee + CPE compliance) by that date moves the certificate to expired status effective the new year, automatically -- no separate grace period is specified. Reactivating within 120 days of expiration additionally triggers a $150 CPE Extension Processing Fee.

Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.
