Renewing Your License
A Wyoming driver's license is valid for four years. If it remains in good standing (no suspensions or revocations) during that time period, renewal by mail is an option. A renewal notice will be sent from Driver Services 120 days (90 days if you are under 21) prior to the expiration date to the last address listed in the licensee database. Thus, it is a good idea to always keep the division informed of address changes
Once you receive the renewal form, you are essentially up against the clock (albeit a very slow-ticking one). The state allows plenty of time for turnaround, but the sent form must be returned to the division, or at least postmarked, by the 30th day preceding the expiration.
Of course, there are a couple of catches if you intend to use post to extend the license's life.
First, you will need to provide verification to the division that your eyesight is up to par with the state 20/40 (without corrective lenses) standards. This entails sending in a completed Driver Vision Evaluation form, which is available online using the free Adobe Reader, or other written proof signed by a proper specialist along with the renewal card. The vision test must be taken within a year prior to the license expiration date.
The second issue is that the renewal by mail is only an option every other round. Thus, once in every eight-year period you will have to go to an exam office to renew. This allows an examiner to make a physical assessment of your ability to maintain a license.
So, considering you need a vision test anyway, and that the test is given at exam offices, it may be just as easy to renew in person each round, especially if an office is nearby. And considering Wyoming is the least populated state in the nation, you can pretty much bet you will never have to wait in a long line.
The fee to renew is $18. If you do opt for the mail route, return the forms to:
- WYDOT
- Driver Services
- 5300 Bishop Blvd.
- Cheyenne, WY 82009-3340
