Top Check Your Driver's License Status

In Wyoming, driving records (a.k.a. driver history) are recorded and available in three-, five-, and 10-year increments.

Your driving record will include your name, address, date of birth, driver's license number, and information about your driving history; it will only include your Social Security number if it's included on your driver's license.

Top Obtaining a Copy of Your Records

You can acquire the records by a variety of methods including over the Internet through a multitude of third-party businesses (such as the one at the top of this page), or by appearing in person at an exam office. Simply provide evidence as to your identification via driver's license or state ID card and pay the $5 fee and the examiner will print out a copy.

Requesting a copy by mail entails printing out and completing Section A on the Release for Driving Record form, which is available online using the free Adobe Reader. Send a $5 check or money order payable to WYDOT along with the form to:

• Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT)

• Driver Services/Driving Records

• 5300 Bishop Blvd.

• Cheyenne, WY 82009-3340

Top Requesting Someone Else's Records

There are certain privacy walls in place that make it difficult for an individual to simply gain access to another individual's driving history without written consent from that licensee. If you do have permission, the driver in question needs to fill out and sign Section B of the Release for Driving Record form. The fee is also $5. Make sure to note the address where the records should be mailed.

Of course, that wall tends to crumble a bit when the government, courts, or certain businesses or employers make a request. Moreover, if you are affiliated with one of these entities and must obtain driving records, a Driver History & Privacy Disclosure form has to be completed and mailed to Driver Services. This document does require the requestor to present legitimate grounds for the history, but in most cases it is a relatively smooth process.

In most cases, the requests come from prospective employers scrutinizing the driving history of possible new hires that will be operating a motor vehicle on the clock. They are checking for DUIs and excessive tickets. Any pending court cases against you, especially those where a vehicle was involved, is usually another reason for another party to take a gander at the records.

Top Using a Third Party

There are also a number of businesses, especially on the Internet, that have the ability to obtain driving records with uncanny speed; in some cases within the same day.

Generally, the price is a bit more for the service, but it is worth it if you need the information in a hurry. It is also a good option if you are nowhere near an exam office, which in the wide open spaces of Wyoming may not be too far off the truth.
