What this means for an out-of-state physician
The IMLC offers an expedited route to additional state licenses for eligible physicians, including a Wyoming license. Eligibility is set by the compact, so check the IMLCC information for physicians before applying. The Wyoming board still issues the license.

NPs and PAs
The IMLC covers physicians only. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants should check licensing requirements directly with the relevant state board.

Decision checklist for Wyoming
- Do not infer personal eligibility from Wyoming or its neighbors appearing on a member list.
- Identify the qualifying principal-license state for a compact application.
- Check the issuing state board’s current requirements rather than treating the compact as a license.

Neighbors
6 of the 6 bordering states are IMLC members: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah.
Counts use shared land/river borders, exclude open-water-only and point-only contacts, and include the District of Columbia where adjacent. Count the named qualifying neighbors and divide the list into qualifying and other recorded statuses; no status is inferred for an unrecorded IMLC state.
