Slow Downs

Incorrect Payment Method
Submitting a personal check or cash will result in the application being returned. Only cashier's checks or money orders are accepted.
Incomplete Application Packet
Missing signatures or failing to include proof of lawful presence will pause the review process until corrected.
Third-Party Verification Delays
Waiting for the CDR or other state boards to send official verifications is a common bottleneck. Request these early.
Name Mismatch
If the name on the application does not match the name on the proof of legal presence, you must include legal name change documentation (e.g., marriage certificate).

Questions

How long does the application process take?
Once a file is complete, review typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. During peak renewal seasons (April–June), processing may take up to 6 weeks.
Can I apply for a license online?
No. Wyoming currently requires all initial and renewal applications to be submitted via mail with physical payment.
What are the continuing education (CE) requirements?
Licensees must complete 30 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) every two-year renewal cycle.
Does Wyoming require a background check or fingerprints?
Standard dietitian licensure does not require a fingerprint-based background check, though applicants must provide proof of lawful presence.
When do licenses expire?
Licenses expire every two years on June 30. Renewals must be postmarked by June 15 to avoid late fees.
