RE: OPTins Payment Requirement for 2025 Annual Premium Tax Filings and Payments

The Wyoming Department of Insurance is streamlining its processes in order to promote easier, faster, and more efficient premium tax return filings. Beginning with the 2025 Annual Statement filings due March 1, 2026, the National Association of lnsurance Commissioners (NAIC) Online Premium Tax for Insurance (OPTins) filing system will be the only permissible form prescribed by the commissioner pursuant to Wyoming Statute 26-4-103(a). Paper filings will no longer be accepted.

Please note that a single filing may be made for the first through third estimated quarterly filings to reduce any fees charged by OPTins. For information on setting up an NAIC OPTins account, visit https://content.naic.org/industry/optins.

For more information regarding our premium tax filing requirements, please visit the premium tax returns page.

We appreciate your efforts in helping us adopt a more consistent and efficient filing process. For questions regarding premium tax payments or filings, please contact Tammy Rathburn at 307-777-6884 or tammy.rathburn@wyo.gov.

RE:  WYOMING REGULATION CHAPTER 11 – UPDATES TO FORMS REQUIRED

Wyoming Insurance Regulations Chapter 11 was amended effective September 16, 2025 to include the following language:

Section 8.  Update to Forms Required.  Any previously approved insurance form containing language that conflicts with any statutory or regulatory requirements due to statutory or regulatory changes subsequent to approval, must be updated and filed for approval pursuant to W.S. § 26-15-110 before further delivery or issuance for delivery in Wyoming.

This memorandum is being provided to notify insurers of this change. Insurers are required to amend any previously filed forms to bring them into compliance.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact the Wyoming Department of Insurance at 307-777-7401.
