Wyoming Board of Acupuncture

IMPORTANT NOTICE

As the Professional Licensing Boards enter the busy season, we would like to remind you that we experience a significant increase in the volume of applications, phone calls, emails and other requests that we receive. This causes delays in our processing and response times. 

Our current processing time is up to four (4) weeks from the date that a complete application has been received.  It is extremely critical that applicants carefully review the application instructions and submit a complete packet with all requirements met. Any missing documents or incomplete items may increase the processing time. This is the most common delay to licensure.

Other requests such as license verifications may take up to three (3) weeks during this period.

Lastly, when contacting our office, please only leave one voicemail or send us one email. Multiple calls or emails will further delay response time and processing. Your questions are important to us, and we will do our best to respond as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time!
