Changing Your Address

It is mandatory in Wyoming to notify the Driver Services Program within 10 days of establishing a new residence. This can be accomplished via letter or with the completion of a Notice of Change of Address form, which can be obtained online using the free Adobe Reader.

Both can be mailed to the address listed below. Once notified, Driver Services will simply update the change in their system free of charge. If you need a duplicate license reflecting the change and cannot wait until the renewal date, you can go to any exam office and request a duplicate license. A fee of $18 will be charged at that point.

Change of Name

Changing your name on your driver's license requires a trip to a local exam office within 10 days of the occurrence. This might be difficult for those on honeymoon after a gala wedding, but it is best to take care of the errand as soon as possible.

You will need to be armed with the necessary documents like a marriage license, court order, divorce decree, or other appropriate identification. The forms will need to clearly display legal evidence that your name did indeed change. This service is not available by mail. An $18 duplicate license fee is charged.

Change of Gender

One thing Wyoming takes pride in is being progressive. It was the first state to allow women to vote―and it was the first state to have a woman in the governor's office.

It was also the initial state to establish the American Automobile Association's (AAA) recommendations for counterfeit prevention and general identity security. This required the bold step of completely changing the look of the driver's license for minors from the traditional horizontal offering to a vertical style.

The progressive streak is still imbedded in the heart of cowboy country as evidenced by Wyoming being one of the few states on record to provide a means of changing gender on a driver's license. So, if John has become Jane, or vice versa, all they need to do is provide an exam office with a physician's letter stating all surgical procedures have been completed. An $18 duplicate license fee is charged.
