Wyoming is listed as a permitless carry state, so a permit is optional for eligible adults; the card is the Concealed Firearms Permit (CFP). For the optional permit, a single state agency handles permits, so the same office serves every county. The issuing agency is Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.

A training course is required before you apply in Wyoming. A new permit lasts 5 years.

To replace a lost or stolen Wyoming permit, expect to provide a notarized statement. Confirm with the issuing agency
