Single or multiple portions of the exam can be taken two of every three months of the year. A candidate may not re-take a test section in the same period (testing window = two of every three months).

Application Requirements

Applications must be completed and accompanied by the applicable fees and proof of identity - a government issued identification card such as a drivers license.  Initial candidates and all candidates who have not provided evidence of completion of the education requirements must submit a transcript which evidences confirmation of the degree earned and completion of the required number of accounting courses. Official transcripts are required (transcripts issued "to student" are not acceptable) and must be sent directly to the Board office. Be certain you only apply for those section you intend to take in the next six months. You must pay for all sections applied for and sit for those sections within 6 months of the date of the notice to schedule or application date if the notice to schedule is not issued.            Denied Applications: If your application has been denied, you have the right to reconsideration if you can provide new or additional information.  When applications are denied, fees are not refunded. 

Transfer Candidates

The Wyoming Board will accept applications from candidates who have written the CPA examination in other jurisdictions when those applicants become Wyoming residents. Credit earned for any sections passed will be accepted if those candidates comply with all other requirements (education, credit expiration, etc.) imposed upon Wyoming candidates.  Transfer candidates should complete the Authorization for Interstate Exchange of Examination and Licensure Information form to send to the other jurisdiction.  Some states do charge fees to complete these forms.  We recommend you contact them and inquire as to the applicable fees.  Applications will not be complete until the Exchange Form has been received at the Board office. Transfer applicants will also be required to complete Transfer Application Information Form and send it to the Wyoming Board.

Wyoming candidates who wish to transfer their exam credit to other states should submit the applicable form to the Board office.  We will complete the form and forward all applicable information to the transfer state.  No fees are charged for this service.  The Wyoming Board will retain your examination information electronically on a permanent basis.  However, any other documents submitted with your application are subject to the Board's Records Retention Schedules and may not be available in the Board office should you seek information in the future.
