Who does what in Wyoming
Wyoming splits driver and vehicle work three ways. The Department of Transportation's Driver Services issues licenses, permits and ID cards and gives the tests at the exam stations on its locations map, with renewals through oneWYO. The county clerks issue the titles and the county treasurers register the vehicles and collect the sales tax, both listed by WYDOT on its vehicle services hub, with the registration fee set by title 31 as a state part plus a county part on the vehicle's factory price.
Start with the Wyoming exam station list for a license counter, the county registration guide for the treasurer's side, the VIN inspection guide for a vehicle brought in, and the new resident guide after a move.
Driver licenses, permits and ID cards
WYDOT's fee page, read October 22, 2026, prices an initial Class C license or permit at $45 and a renewal at $35, a duplicate at $25, motorcycle privileges at $11 more, and an ID card at $10 on its ID card page; a CDL is $55 initially with a $45 permit and renewal and an $85 skills test on the commercial license page, a driving record $10 and a reinstatement $50.
A driver moving in from a compact state has up to a year to transfer a valid license under WYDOT's license page, except from Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin, 30 days for a CDL, and brings the required documents with two address proofs dated within 45 days; the card arrives in four to six weeks, and a name or address change is reported within ten days under the change of information page. The license guide, the REAL ID guide, the ID card guide and the fee guide set each of those out.
Vehicle titles, registration and the county fee
A Wyoming title costs $15 at the county clerk and the VIN inspection a vehicle from another state needs $10, on the title and inspection form and the county clerks' pages. Registration is a $30 state fee for a passenger car and $25 for a motorcycle under section 31-3-101 plus the county fee: 3 percent of the factory price times a year of service factor that falls from 60 percent in the first year to 15 percent from the sixth, as Laramie County's page works it, so a $25,000 car in its second year pays $375 to the county and $30 to the state. Since July 1, 2026 an electric vehicle adds a $100 decal and a plug-in hybrid $50 under House Bill 145.
The sales or use tax on a purchase is paid to the county treasurer within 65 days, as Laramie County's tax page sets out, and a vehicle is registered on establishing residency, the license grace period not applying to the plates; insurance follows the Department of Insurance's rules. The title guide, the registration guide, the county registration guide and the VIN inspection guide set out the paperwork.
Offices, hours and holidays
WYDOT's locations map, read October 22, 2026, carries 29 exam stations in 23 counties, 27 with a weekly schedule and none open on Saturday: nine five day stations from 8 am to 4:30 pm, most closed for lunch, the rest open one to four set days a week, and Baggs and Dubois once a month.
Road tests are by appointment only, each station has its own telephone, and titles and plates are the county's. Every station is on the Wyoming exam station list with its days and WYDOT's note.
