Wyoming pawnbrokers operate under a dual framework: state statutes set the baseline, while cities and counties may impose additional licensing and reporting rules. You must comply with both.
Wyo. Stat. §33-6-106 requires every pawnbroker to keep an accurate record showing:
This record must be available at all times to any peace officer of the city, county or state. PawnSmarts gives each of these its own field and keeps the record retrievable on demand.
Wyoming requires pawnbrokers to obtain a license from the administrator of the Wyoming Uniform Consumer Credit Code before doing business. State licensing fees run a $300 processing fee for the first license, $150 for each additional branch, plus a $50 initial license fee per location. PawnSmarts is a recordkeeping tool — it does not track licenses, bonds or renewal dates, so you remain responsible for obtaining and maintaining your state license and any required bonds.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and change over time — verify current rules with your city or county clerk. PawnSmarts does not track local licenses or bonds.
Cheyenne requires that all articles purchased outright be kept separate and not sold or otherwise disposed of for fifteen (15) days from the date of purchase. Other Wyoming cities may have similar holds. Enter the purchase date and PawnSmarts flags the item as "on hold" until it's eligible for sale.
Wyoming municipalities typically require records to be preserved for four (4) years from the date of transaction (or two years from final entry, whichever is later). PawnSmarts keeps your transaction data retrievable and can flag records approaching the 4-year mark for your review; you remain responsible for backup and retention.
Wyoming law contains a distinctive provision: a pawnbroker may not make an agreement requiring the personal liability of a customer in connection with a pawn transaction. No customer may be required to redeem pledged goods or make any payment, and the pawnbroker's sole remedy for nonpayment is the right to title of the pledged tangible personal property. Pawnbrokers may not charge for insurance in connection with a pawn transaction and must post a schedule of business days and hours for redemption. PawnSmarts is structured around collateral-based transactions — it tracks pledged goods, not personal guarantees, which fits Wyoming's model exactly.
No pawnbroker may accept a pledge from any person under 18. PawnSmarts requires and verifies date of birth against ID to help you keep minors out of transactions; you remain responsible for ensuring compliance.
Requirements vary and may change. Verify current local ordinances with your city or county clerk. PawnSmarts is a recordkeeping tool and does not track licenses or bonds.

Stat. §33-6-106 requires every pawnbroker to maintain an accurate record for each transaction showing a complete item description, the transaction date, the customer's name and address, the amount paid or loaned, and the date the pledge expires, available at all times to any peace officer of the city, county or state.
