Vehicle Registration

Show All Answers

1. I'm out of town/state, how can I renew my license plates?

You can renew online, by phone, or by mail, and we will mail your registration and stickers to you! If you are in another WY county and it is more convenient, you can also renew there.

2. Can I renew my registration early?

Yes! It is the same price, and you will get the same stickers.

3. Is there a penalty if I renew my registration late?

No. It will be the same price and the stickers will remain in the same expiration month.

4. I haven't used my vehicle in awhile and now I want to update the registration, how does that work?

• Make sure it has current insurance!
• You must pay 12 months of registration, and
• The stickers always stay in the same month, and
• You must pay for the current registration year of that vehicle
• If more than 1 year has passed we can skip full years

Example 1: Vehicle expired in June of 2018. You renew it in May of 2021. You pay the registration fee for June  2020 - June 2021. (This means the registration is only good for another month before you have to renew again!)

Example 2: Vehicle expired in June of 2018. You wait and renew it in July of 2021. You pay the registration fee for June 2021 - June 2022. (Now you are getting a full year's use out of it!)

5. Can I renew my registration here if I live in a different county?

Yes! You can register your vehicle in any county no matter where you live, and it is the same price across the state.

6. How do I get a Wyoming title?

Contact the Converse County Clerk's Office at (307) 358-2244.

7. How long can I drive on a title?

45 days from the purchase date. It does not need to be notarized.

8. How long can I drive on a bill of sale?

60 days from the purchase date. It does not need to be notarized.

9. Can I get plates for my new vehicle in the Glenrock office?

Yes, if your title has already been processed by the Clerk's Office.

10. My sticker(s) got lost/destroyed! Can I get another set?

Yes! We can issue a replacement for $6.

11. I lost a plate! Can I get a replacement?

Yes. We can issue a replacement for $8. You will get a new plate(s) with a different number, new sticker(s), and registration.

If your plate number is reserved, you can re-order the same number through the Department of Transportation for $30 using this form.

12. Can I get a credit back? I'm moving out of state/selling/junking my vehicle and the tags are still current.

We can only transfer credit to a new purchase by you that you are registering in WY. Otherwise, the credit is unfortunately lost. We cannot apply credit to another vehicle of yours that you want to renew.

13. I just moved here from out-of-state. What do I need to do to get WY plates?

Provide a current out-of-state registration, or a registration that is over 30 days expired with a WY title. Click here for more information.

14. I am working in WY temporarily, what do I need to be legal?

You can either pay for a temporary worker permit, or pay the annual registration fee for Wyoming license plates. Depending on how long you will be working in Wyoming and the type of vehicle you drive, sometimes paying for one year of registration fees and receiving license plates can be cheaper than a temporary worker permit, even if you won't be here for the entire year. If you choose to do this, you do not have to surrender your out-of-state plates.

Get an estimate on registration fees, or read more information on temporary worker permits, including who is exempt.

15. I purchased a vehicle, is my paperwork in? When can I come in to pay sales tax and plate it?

Title: It is prepared by the Clerk's Office, contact them at (307) 358-2244.

Sales tax: You can pay it any time, the title does not need to be processed first. You have 60 days to pay it. Find out more about sales tax here.

Plates and registration:  You can get your plates once there is a title processed in your name and sales tax has been paid.

16. What do I need to bring in to plate my new vehicle?

• The title if the vehicle is not being financed. Talk to the Clerk's Office about what they will require to switch over your title.
• A bill of sale (required if purchased from a dealership or auction house, or if it is a lease buyout). If you bought it from a dealership, you can just bring in all your paperwork and we can look through it to find what we need.
• Proof of insurance.

Give us a call beforehand, we may just already have everything we need!

17. Can plate numbers be transferred to someone else?

Yes, if:

• it is a reserved plate number and a signed and dated letter is provided.
• your immediate family member gifts you a vehicle with the current license plates.
• it is a specialty plate, the current owner provides a letter of relinquishment, and the new owner: reapplies for the plate through the Department of Transportation, includes the letter, and pays the application fee.

18. I bought a vehicle, how much is everything going to cost?

There are 3 things you may have to pay to title and register your new vehicle:

• Title: from $0 to $45, contact the Clerk's Office at (307) 358-2244 for more info.
• Sales Tax: If you are a Converse County resident, it is 5% of the purchase price. Find out more about sales tax here.
• Registration: This is a calculation based off the year of the vehicle, original factory price, and weight. Click here for an estimate or call us at (307) 358-3120!

19. I bought a vehicle from an out-of-state dealer and they didn't give me a 60-day temporary, can I still drive it?

Yes! Keep your paperwork in the vehicle; as a WY resident you can legally drive with it for 60 days from the purchase date, whether or not the dealer gave you a temporary registration. If you want something that visibly shows you are legal, bring in your paperwork and we can give you a 60-day temporary for $5.

20. I bought a vehicle but can't or don't want to plate it yet (no title, saving money, missing paperwork, etc). How can I legally drive it?

• You can drive on a title for 45 days or bill of sale for 60 days.
• You can purchase a temporary registration for up to 90 days from the purchase date. Find out more here.
