Wyoming Dietitian License Requirements (2026)
Compiled and verified against primary state-board, CDR, and ACEND sources by DietitianLicense — cite-or-deny, with no invented figures. How we source & verify →
Wyoming licenses dietitians through the Dietetics Licensing Board, created by the Legislature in 2011 (Senate Enrolled Act #74) and governed by the Dietetics Licensure Act (W.S. Title 33, Chapter 47). Wyoming is a practice-act and title-protection state: only a person holding a Wyoming dietetics license may use the title "licensed dietitian" or the abbreviation "LD." The statutory exemption for "general nonmedical nutritional information" applies to anyone who does not represent themselves as a licensed dietitian, and the Board's own materials do not describe a separate "licensed nutritionist" credential — only the "licensed dietitian"/"LD" title is protected.
