Moving a South Dakota electrician license to Wyoming in 2026
Wyoming recognizes South Dakota electrician licenses
Wyoming publishes a reciprocity or endorsement path for at least one South Dakota electrician license tier. You’ll still file an endorsement application and pay fees — and reciprocity is one-directional and tier-specific, so confirm your exact license class qualifies before you rely on it.
South Dakota also recognizes Wyoming licenses, so this pairing works both ways (still tier-specific — verify your class).
How to use this reciprocity path
- 1
Confirm your South Dakota license is current
You generally must hold an active South Dakota license in good standing, often for a minimum number of years, to qualify for endorsement.
- 2
Request endorsement from the Wyoming board
File the licensure-by-endorsement (reciprocity) application with Wyoming. Expect to show experience hours, exam history, and proof of your current license.
- 3
Sit any required Wyoming exam
Many states waive the trade-knowledge exam but still require the state business-and-law portion. Prep for at least one exam unless the board confirms a full waiver.
- 4
Pay fees and submit
Pay the application/endorsement fee and submit. Keep your South Dakota license active until Wyoming issues yours.
Prep for the Wyoming exam
If Wyoming requires the state exam for endorsement, practice tests make the difference.
