License Renewal in Wyoming

If your Wyoming driver's license is nearing its expiration date, you'll need to submit a renewal application to the Wyoming Department of Transportation (DOT).

On this page, you'll find instructions on how to renew your driver's license before it expires.

Wyoming REAL ID Licenses

The Wyoming DOT issues federally-compliant REAL ID driver’s licenses in addition to standard driver’s licenses. Beginning October 2021, the REAL ID will allow you to continue using your license for domestic travel and entry into federal and military buildings—a standard ID will no longer suffice for these activities. After that date, without a REAL ID license, you will need another form of federal identification (like a passport or birth certificate).

If you don't yet have a REAL ID, you must renew your license in person. For more, visit the state's guide to REAL IDs.

When to Renew Your WY Driver's License

NOTE: Make sure your address on file with the WY DOT is correct. If you need to notify the DOT of an address change, view our Changing Your Address page.

Class C (standard) driver's licenses in Wyoming need to be renewed every 5 years.

Within 120 days of your driver's license expiration date, you should receive a renewal application in the mail, if you're eligible to renew by mail. If you didn't receive your notice and you think you should have, call the Wyoming DOT at (307) 777-4800.

If you're planning to renew your driver's license in person, you do not need your renewal notice. You may only renew your license or ID card by mail once every 10 years.

NOTE: If you recently changed your name, you must notify the DOT in person. For more information, read our page about Changing Your Name.

Expired Driver's License

If you let your Wyoming driver's license expire, you will need to apply for a new license and re-take the written knowledge and driving exams again.

To check the status of your driver's license, you can always obtain a copy of your driving record.

Military License Expiration Waivers

Notice for Military Members Stationed in Germany

If you are currently stationed in Germany, please be aware that some states require you to have a valid U.S. driver's license in addition to your USAREUR license. Read our article for more information.

Active duty Wyoming military residents can have your driver's license expiration date waived during the tenure of your service. An "I" designation will be added to your driver's license, keeping it current AS LONG AS it is accompanied by either your active duty orders or your military ID.

To obtain this waiver, bring your current WY driver's license AND your military ID card to your local DOT office, along with a completed Wyoming Driver License Application (Form FSDL-705).

Should you deploy or be stationed outside of Wyoming and choose not to extend your driver's license, you may renew by mail.
