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 Laramie — Business License (specific regulated types only)

   Laramie does not require a general business license. The City Clerk licenses only specific business types: auctioneer, carnival/circus, junk dealer, mobile vending, pawnbroker, private security, roller skating rink, secondhand dealer, solid waste collector, and vehicle-for-hire businesses (plus rental housing registration). General contracting, electrical, and plumbing licenses are handled by the city's Code Administration division. If your business is not on the City Clerk's list, no city business license is required.
