Registering a Vehicle
A vehicle purchased by a Wyoming resident must be registered to be used on Wyoming roads. (Temporary workers in the state for fewer than 120 consecutive days must acquire a temporary registration from the state of Wyoming.) For vehicles purchased at a dealership, the dealer will generally handle the filing of titling and registration forms, but for transfers of ownership between private parties, the buyer must act to register. Registration is a matter handled at the county level in Wyoming, so the amount of time a buyer has to register, the duration of registration, and the methods of renewal will vary. Buyers should consult the local county treasurer’s office for more information.
Where to Register
Registration for a recent vehicle buyer is generally handled at the Treasurer’s Office (Directory) in the buyer’s county of residence.
