Look the agent up in Wyoming
Ask for their full name and NPN
Every licensed agent has a National Producer Number. A real agent will give it to you without hesitation.Open the Wyoming Department of Insurance's license lookup
Wyoming agent license lookup. It's the official lookup from the Wyoming Department of Insurance. Choose Wyoming and "Individual," then enter the license number, or at least two of: last name, first name, city.
Check four things
The status is active, the license is for Wyoming (resident or nonresident), it includes a health line of authority (in Wyoming it's listed as "Accident & Health or Sickness"), and it hasn't expired.
What the results mean
- Active
- The license is current. This is what you want to see.
- Inactive, expired or lapsed
- The agent can't legally sell insurance in the state right now. Don't enroll through them.
- Resident or nonresident
- Resident means their home office is in Wyoming. Nonresident means they're based in another state and licensed to work here. Both are fine.
- Line of authority
- The kinds of insurance they can sell. For Medicare plans, look for Accident & Health or Sickness. Life-only isn't enough.
- Regulatory or disciplinary actions
- Some lookups list fines or other actions. One old, small action may not mean much; several, or a revoked license, is a reason to look elsewhere.
Extra steps for Medicare plans
A state license is the first check. For Medicare plans, two more things apply:
- Appointment: the agent must be appointed by the insurance company whose plan you're choosing. Ask which companies they represent in Wyoming.
- Yearly certification: agents who sell Medicare Advantage and Part D drug plans must complete each plan's training and testing every year.
Agents who sell for more than one company must also tell you, before discussing any plan's benefits, how many companies and plans they represent in your area. None of them works for Medicare.
Switching Medigap plans in Wyoming
Birthday rule. For 63 days starting on your birthday, you can switch to the same or lesser benefits with no health questions. Confirm the details with the Wyoming Department of Insurance before you switch.
This applies to people who already have a Medicare Supplement policy. See every state's Medigap switching rule.
Medigap if you're under 65 in Wyoming
Not required. Wyoming does not require insurers to sell Medigap to people under 65; the guaranteed 6-month open enrollment starts only when you are 65 and enrolled in Part B.
If you have Part B when you turn 65, you get a new 6-month Medigap open enrollment then. See every state's rule for people under 65.
If something looks wrong
- License not found or inactive: don't share your Medicare or Social Security number, and contact the Wyoming Department of Insurance at 1-800-438-5768. You can also file a complaint online.
- Someone claiming to be from Medicare: hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227, TTY 1-877-486-2048).
- A listing on this site looks wrong: report it and we'll look into it.

Common questions
What license does an agent need to sell Medicare plans in Wyoming?
A Wyoming insurance license with a health line of authority (often called "Accident & Health" or "Health"). To sell a particular company's plans, the agent must also be appointed by that company, and agents who sell Medicare Advantage or Part D plans must complete the plan's training and testing every year.
Can an agent from another state help me in Wyoming?
Yes, if they hold a Wyoming license. Agents based elsewhere get a "nonresident" license for each state they work in. It shows up in the Wyoming Department of Insurance's lookup the same way, marked nonresident.
Does it cost anything to check a license?
No. The lookup is free and open to the public, and you don't need an account.
What if I can't find the agent?
Check the spelling, try their National Producer Number (NPN) instead of their name, and ask whether their license is under a different legal name. If you still can't find an active license, don't share your Medicare number or sign anything, and contact the Wyoming Department of Insurance.
