About this exam

Wyoming's life and health insurance producer license is a credential issued by the Wyoming Department of Insurance - the agency whose stated mission is to enforce the state's insurance laws and regulations and to serve insurance consumers. The Department's website maintains a dedicated section for agents, agencies, and adjusters to obtain or renew a license and to view continuing education information. Candidates pursue the credential to sell life insurance, annuities, and health and disability products, or to add a line of authority to an existing license.

The exam is a multiple-choice test organized around five content areas that carry roughly equal weight: insurance regulation and Wyoming insurance law; life insurance basics; life policy provisions, options, and riders; health insurance basics and policy provisions; and health coverages covering disability, medical, group, and government programs. The regulation portion rewards Wyoming-specific rules rather than general principles, while the two policy sections reward precise recall of provisions, exclusions, options, and riders.

For preparation, work from a current prelicensing text, drill definitions and time limits until they are automatic, then answer practice questions and articulate why each wrong choice is wrong. Item counts, time limits, passing scores, fees, and retake rules are not published in the sources reviewed here; confirm them with the Department's producer licensing staff before scheduling.

What you'll study

Common questions

About WY Life & Health preparation

How many questions are on the Wyoming Life & Health exam, and how long do I get?

Those figures are not stated in the sources reviewed for this page, so we do not publish a number. Item counts and appointment lengths are set by the exam program and can change between revisions. Call Wyoming Department of Insurance producer licensing at (307) 777-7319 to confirm current details before you schedule.

What score do I need to pass?

The sources reviewed do not state a passing score or percentage for the Wyoming Life & Health exam. Passing standards are set by the program, not by study guides, and third-party numbers circulate widely without verification. Confirm the current standard directly with the Department's licensing section rather than relying on a remembered figure.

Is the exam multiple choice?

Yes - the exam format is multiple choice. Each item gives you one best answer among the choices, and the questions are written to test application of rules to short scenarios rather than pure definition recall. Expect several items that ask you to identify the treatment, exclusion, or provision that applies in a described situation.

What topics does the exam cover, and how is it weighted?

Five content areas, each weighted at roughly 20 percent: insurance regulation and Wyoming insurance law; life insurance basics; life policy provisions, options, and riders; health insurance basics and policy provisions; and health coverages - disability, medical, group, and government programs. Because the weighting is even, no single area can be skipped without risking a meaningful share of the score.

What is the most common reason candidates fall short?

Treating the law section as generic. Wyoming-specific licensing, producer conduct, and regulatory rules are tested as state law, not general principles, and they carry the same weight as the larger product areas. The second most common error is memorizing numbers without the concept behind them, which collapses when a question is phrased as a scenario.

What study order do you recommend?

Start with insurance regulation and Wyoming law, because that vocabulary recurs in every other section. Move to life insurance basics, then life policy provisions and riders, then health basics and policy provisions, and finish with the health coverages section. End with mixed practice sets so you practice switching between life and health concepts under time pressure.

What happens if I fail - can I retake it, and is there a waiting period?

Retake rules and any waiting period are not stated in the sources reviewed here, so treat any specific number you hear as unverified. Contact Wyoming producer licensing at (307) 777-7319 or [email protected] to confirm retake eligibility, timing, and whether a new fee is required for each attempt.

How do I change or surrender a business entity license after November 1, 2026?

As of November 1, 2026, the Wyoming Department of Insurance will no longer accept paper forms for business entity voluntary surrender, name change, or address change. Submit these online through Sircon using Additional State Service Request, select the reason, and attach the required form. There is no charge for the service, but there is a $3.50 processing fee.

How do I contact the Wyoming Department of Insurance?

The Department is at 106 E 6th Ave, Cheyenne, WY 82002. Main phone is (307) 777-7401, consumer affairs is (307) 777-7402, and producer licensing is (307) 777-7319.

I keep seeing the name Pearson VUE and Pearson Professional Assessments - which is current?

Both refer to the same company. Pearson states that Pearson VUE will now be known as Pearson Professional Assessments, and that during the transition you may see a mix of old and new branding. Note that the Wyoming insurance program page on the vendor site returned a 'page not found' error when checked, so go through the Department for current program information.
