Endorsement License Procedures for Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wyoming

If you are an LCSW seeking to practice in Wyoming and already hold a valid license from another state, the endorsement process allows you to transfer your credentials and begin working in Wyoming. To ensure a smooth transition, follow these steps:

Before initiating the endorsement process, ensure you have the following documents in order:

You will need to provide proof of completion of a master's or doctorate program in social work from an accredited institution. Remember to have your official transcripts ready.

Contact the licensing board in the state where you currently hold your LCSW license and request them to send a verification of licensure letter directly to the Wyoming Board of Social Work (Licensing Body). Ensure the letter states your name, license number, issue date, and current status.

If your initial licensing required clinical supervision hours, request a letter from your supervisor(s) verifying the hours completed. This letter should outline the dates of supervision and the number of hours completed.

To initiate the endorsement process, visit the Wyoming Board of Social Work's website and navigate to the endorsement application portal. Create an account and begin filling out the application. Ensure all information is accurate and matches the supporting documentation.

Upon completing the application, you will be required to pay the endorsement application fee. For information on current fees, consult the Board's website or contact their office directly. Note that fees are subject to change.

Once your application and fee have been submitted, the Licensing Body will review your documents. This process may take several weeks. During this time, ensure you are readily available for any additional information or clarification they may require.

Wyoming may require you to take a state jurisprudence exam to test your knowledge of local regulations and laws. If this applies to your endorsement application, the Licensing Body will provide you with detailed instructions and resources to prepare for the exam.

Once your application has been approved and all requirements met, you will receive your endorsement license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wyoming. Congratulations! Please note that your license's expiry date may coincide with the expiration of your original license. Renewal procedures will be communicated by the Licensing Body.
