No statewide license — local rules may apply
How to become a security guard in Wyoming
Last reviewed August 28, 2026
Wyoming has no statewide license or registration for security guards. Some cities, like Casper, require municipal licensing; elsewhere employers set the requirements — typically 18+, work authorization, and a fingerprint background check.
Steps to get started
- Meet your employer's hiring requirements — typically 18+, work authorization, and a fingerprint background check.
- Check for municipal licensing rules in the city where you'll work (Casper has them).
- If working armed, complete employer-required firearms training and meet all firearms law.
