1. Wyoming — No State Massage Therapy License

   Wyoming does not license massage therapists at the state level — there is no Wyoming massage therapy board. Regulation is local: some cities (e.g., Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper) require a city license or permit for massage businesses — check with your city clerk. National certification (NCBTMB) and the MBLEx are voluntary industry credentials in Wyoming, not state requirements.

1. City of Casper Business/Health License (most businesses exempt)

   Casper does not require a general business license. The city licenses only enumerated business types (junk dealers, pawnshops, itinerant merchants, unsolicited salesmen, secondhand dealers, hotels/rooming houses, buses, taxicabs). However, businesses affecting public health - food service (including catering, food trucks, and bakeries), child day cares, body art/tattoo studios, massage therapy, and lodging - must obtain a City of Casper health license through the City Clerk after Casper-Natrona County Health Department inspection. Most other businesses (salons, trades, professional and personal services) need no city business license.
