Do you need a license to do electrical work in Wyoming?
Yes. In Wyoming, all electrical equipment must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor using licensed master or journeyman electricians or supervised registered apprentices. The chief electrical inspector licenses electrical contractors, master and journeyman electricians and low voltage and limited technicians, and an electrical contractor must be or employ full time a licensed master electrician of record. The requirement is waived for a person installing equipment on property the person owns or leases that is not for immediate resale, but not for anyone who contracts with that person. This is Wyo. Stat. §§ 35-9-123, 35-9-122, 35-9-125.
