Wyoming

Whether you've just moved to the state or are a long-time resident, you'll need to register your car with the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) in order to legally drive it on the state's roads within 45 days of purchasing it. Don't worry - it's a pretty straightforward process, and we're here to guide you through it.

When buying or selling a used car in a private party sale in Wyoming, it's important to understand the license plate transfer process to ensure a smooth transaction. The seller will be required to remove the license plates from the vehicle once it’s sold. You’ll then have 45 days to transfer your license plates from a different Wyoming-registered vehicle or obtain new plates. The state requires two license plates for most cars, trucks, and vans. Vehicles such as motorcycles and trailers only need one license plate. Your county treasurer will issue the correct number of plates for your vehicle. This guide will provide you with the necessary steps and fees involved.
