Step 2 — Complete fingerprint cards [if applicable]
      Applicants must provide fingerprints on two (2) original blue (FBI) fingerprint cards regardless of how
       recently fingerprints were taken in another state or for any other purpose. Note: If you currently hold a valid
       Wyoming license or permit through PTSB, you do not need to submit new fingerprint cards.
      Applicants may obtain fingerprint cards and be fingerprinted by any law enforcement agency.
       o If the local law enforcement agency will not provide two (2) blue (FBI) fingerprint cards, applicants may
           email PTSB at wyoptsb@wyo.gov with applicant’s name and mailing address to request cards.
      Include both blue fingerprint cards with your complete application packet.
      BEFORE submitting your fingerprint cards, be aware of the following conditions:
       o Fingerprint cards MUST be completed in black ink only.
       o Fingerprint cards MUST NOT be folded, stapled, or mutilated in any way.
       o Fingerprint cards MUST NOT contain any smudged or unreadable prints.
Applicants who submit fingerprint cards not adhering to the above conditions may be requested by the Wyoming
Division of Criminal Investigation to send in a second set of fingerprint cards, delaying their application.

Complete the following fields on BOTH of the BLUE (FBI) fingerprint cards:

                         Applicant completes: Signature of Person Fingerprinted and Residence of
         Left Side       Person Fingerprinted

         Right side
                         of Birth

Step 3 — Provide official transcripts (Page 10)
      In order for PTSB to assure that courses are eligible to be applied toward a Demonstration of Competency, our
       office needs official transcripts.
      Request academic transcripts from ALL colleges and universities where coursework related to the
       endorsement you are adding has been completed.
      IMPORTANT! Be sure to have the transcripts sent directly to you (unless you are having your school send
       them electronically). Once you have received all of your transcripts, include them in your completed
       application packet.
                Note: It is not necessary to submit official transcripts in a separate, sealed envelope; however,
                transcripts must contain the institution’s original seal and registrar’s signature in order to be
                considered “official”.

Step 4 – Demonstrate U.S. and Wyoming Constitution knowledge (Page 11) [if applicable]
      If you currently hold or have ever held a license or permit through PTSB, you do not need to demonstrate
       knowledge of the U.S. and Wyoming Constitutions again.
      Applicants are required to demonstrate knowledge of both the U.S. and Wyoming Constitutions either through
       an exam or college course(s). Course(s) must be passed with a grade of a “C” or better.
      If you have not completed a college course(s) to meet the U.S. and Wyoming Constitution requirements, you
       may demonstrate knowledge through an exam with a passing score. Exam(s) may be taken at a Wyoming
       school district office or the PTSB office. Out-of-state applicants may have these exams proctored in their state
       (see page 11 for more information).
      U.S. and Wyoming Constitution Study Guides are available at: http://wyomingptsb.com/licensure/us-and-
       wyoming-constitution/
      Complete the Verification of Constitution Knowledge form and include exam results or an official
       transcript indicating course(s) that meet these requirements with your complete application packet.

Step 5 — Provide testing requirements results
      It is not necessary for an applicant to have taken the required exams prior to applying for a
       Demonstration of Competency Pre-Evaluation. However, if test scores are available, include all
       necessary test results in your complete application packet.
       o Applicants adding endorsements through Demonstration of Competency are required to obtain
            passing scores on approved exams (either Praxis II or Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) exams). See
            the PTSB website for current passing scores on adopted exams or visit:
            http://www.ets.org/praxis/wy/alternate_route.
       o For information on how to register, test sites, costs, accommodations, study guides or other
            information about the Praxis II, please visit the ETS Praxis website at: www.ets.org/praxis.

Step 6 — Complete Fee Payment Form including all applicable fees (Page 12)
      If you do not currently hold a valid license or permit through PTSB, be sure to include the $50 fingerprint
       processing fee.
      The fees may be paid by personal checks, cash, money orders, cashier’s check, and credit card.
       o Please make checks payable to PTSB or Professional Teaching Standards Board.
      Applicants who complete the Demonstration of Competency Pre-Evaluation process and subsequently add the
       endorsement within two (2) years of receipt of the Pre-Evaluation request will receive a $50 credit toward
       the Add Endorsement application fee.

completed college coursework in the specific endorsement area for which the applicant is applying, in conjunction with passing a PTSB-approved exam.
