Wyoming security guard license lookup
Wyoming has no statewide security guard license. Here is what to check instead.
Wyoming has no statewide security guard license, so there is no state record to look up.
Local rules: Cheyenne: guard businesses need a $140 annual city license, $100,000/$200,000 liability insurance and a $10,000 bond; employees must have no felony or moral-turpitude misdemeanor and be of age, and the business checks their records (ch. 5.48). Individual guard ID cards were repealed in 2019. Casper's business license title has no guard chapter; its alarm ordinance covers alarm systems only.
There is no state agency to call. Confirm the company legally exists through the Wyoming Secretary of State business entity search at sos.wyo.gov, contact the city clerk where the guard will work, Cheyenne has a codified chapter licensing detective, patrol and guard service businesses, and require the company to produce its own background-check, training and insurance documentation.
What to check instead in WyomingExact steps to verify an officer with the regulator5 steps
- Understand that Wyoming has no state guard license and no state security regulator, so there is no state record to check and no state office to call.
- Read the state’s own position if a provider pushes back: the Division of Criminal Investigation FAQ at wyomingdci.wyo.gov/operations/pi-faqs states plainly that no license is required to operate a security firm in Wyoming.
- Contact the city clerk or police department where the guard will actually work and ask whether that city regulates security guards or firms by ordinance.
- Treat Secretary of State registration for what it is, proof a business entity exists, not proof anyone is trained, screened or insured.
- Put the weight on the company instead: a current certificate of liability insurance naming you, a written background-check policy, and documented firearms qualification for any armed post.
Why there is no link to click: Wyoming licenses neither individual guards nor security firms at state level. The Division of Criminal Investigation says so in its own PI/Security FAQ: a license is not required to be a private investigator or to operate a security firm, though "some municipalities may regulate private security firms" by ordinance and a firm may need to register with the Secretary of State as a business. There is therefore no state record of any kind to search.
