Identification Cards

Who Needs an ID Card

Unless you inhabit a cave up in the Absarokas, hunt your own food, and generally prefer the Grizzly Adams mountain existence, you most likely need some sort of photo document.

The list of instances where you need identification includes things like leasing a car or renting an apartment, traveling, buying a cold six-pack, or two-stepping the night away in a Cheyenne honky-tonk.

You don't have to have a driver's license in Wyoming to have identification. Members of the non-driving constituency, or those who simply lack photo identification, should definitely mull over the idea of obtaining a Wyoming ID card. Getting a state ID is an extremely effortless process, but you do need to be a resident of Wyoming.

Getting an ID Card

If residency is not an issue, just visit an exam office with the Identification Card Application, which is available online using the free Adobe Reader. You'll also need to supply two documents from the acceptable identification list, along with your Social Security card.

Fees and Renewals

The fee for the Wyoming ID card is $10, and the best part of all is: it never expires.

Replacing an ID Card

Bring two forms of identification to any exam office along with cash or check to pay a $10 duplicate fee.

A new ID card will be mailed to you within four weeks.
