International Applicants

Applicants Who Acquired Their Educator License or Certificate Outside of the United States

If you are from another country and you want to know whether Wyoming will issue you a Wyoming Educator License, your first step is to determine U.S. equivalency of your education program by having your college/university transcript(s) evaluated by one of the transcript evaluation services listed below. With the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree and completion of a teacher preparation program, you may qualify for a Wyoming Educator License using the traditional route.

Please note when requesting your transcripts to be evaluated, please request that the transcript evaluation service agency provides you with a course by course evaluation.

Once you have received the results of your international transcript evaluation, you can begin the initial licensure process.
