Wyoming Massage Regulatory Board
The State of Wyoming legislature is working on the formulation of a regulatory board for Massage. They are working to implement a 500-hour course curriculum to be the minimum and a passing score on the MBLEx. Unknown start date.
Wyoming House Bill HB0084- Massage Therapy Practice Act- Effective July 1st 2012 to June 30th 2013 Grandfather Applications-- Did not Pass- Not in Effect. Information on HB0084 is still in the works. We could not find an established Massage Board or any links for application, as of August 2017.

You may obtain a Valid license from a neighboring state, to insure the Application process for obtaining a Wyoming State License is expedited when regulations are in effect.

Check your state, city, or county Department of Labor or Health Department regulators to find out the requirements to practice Massage Therapy. Therapists who live in unregulated states often obtain a passing score on the MBLEx from the Federation of State Massage Therapy Board (FSMTB) after graduation to ensure they can continue their career if ever they move out of state. Some employment establishments may require a certification or license to apply to work for them. You may also apply for a state license in a neighboring state to ensure professional standards of practice. The best time to take the licensing exam (MBLEx) is at the end of your schooling or right after, so the information is fresh in your mind. We encourage you to utilize our site to review your massage curriculum and build your confidence in obtaining a passing score.
