Wyoming License Plate Search
Add And/Or Change Information on Your Wyoming Driver's License
Wyoming law requires licensed drivers to keep their DMV records accurate and up to date. You must update your address, legal name, or gender designation promptly. Not updating within required timelines can lead to penalties or license issues.
Why updates matter
Current records help law enforcement identify drivers, ensure state mail reaches you (e.g., renewal notices, jury duty), prevent identity fraud, and keep voter and administrative systems accurate.
Address Change
You must notify WYDOT within 10 calendar days of moving. Bring required documents, surrender your current license, and complete the Notice of Change form.
What to bring
- Proof of identity (same standards as license issuance)
- Two proofs of recent Wyoming residency (dated within 30 days)
- Current Driver’s License or ID
- Completed and signed Notice of Change form
How to get the Notice of Change form
Request via fax: (307) 777-3823
Or by mail:
Wyoming Department of Transportation
Driver Services Program
5300 Bishop Boulevard
Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009-3340
A replacement license with your updated address will be issued (standard fees apply) and typically arrives by mail in about four weeks.
Name Change
Visit any Wyoming driver exam office, surrender your current license/ID, and present legal documentation of the change.
Acceptable documents
- Certified court order
- Marriage certificate
- Divorce decree
- Other judicial records signed by a judge
Update Social Security first. WYDOT must verify your new name and date of birth with the SSA. If there’s no match, bring your updated Social Security card and your legal name-change documentation.
You’ll be photographed and sign again. Expect your updated 5-year card in about 4–6 weeks.
Gender Designation
To update gender on your driver’s license, complete the Gender Designation Request form at the DMV and submit required documentation.
Bring
- Proof of identity
- Current driver’s license and vehicle registration/title
- Applicable fees
Professional certification
Portions of the application must be completed by a licensed medical doctor or licensed social services practitioner. The vehicle owner and the certifying professional must complete their sections.
Ensure your SSA information is corrected before WYDOT issues the updated card.
Title & Registration Searches
WYDOT provides title and license plate registration search services with privacy safeguards.
Title search
Submit form MV-220 with a $5 fee. Provide vehicle identifiers such as VIN (preferred), title number, or legal owner’s name.
License plate registration search
Provide the plate number, vehicle type (passenger, truck, motorcycle, etc.), make, and model year.
Search Application Requirements
- Full legal name
- Date of birth (as on acceptable ID)
- Driver’s license/ID/learner’s permit number
- Last four digits of SSN
Out-of-State Lookup
Mail your documents, payment, and a letter explaining the out-of-state need to:
WYDOT – Motor Vehicle Services
5300 Bishop Boulevard
Cheyenne WY 82009
Phone: (307) 777-4883, (307) 777-4710, or (307) 777-4709
Government agencies or political subdivisions may qualify for a fee waiver.
Important Tips
- Use official WYDOT sources only—private sites cannot legally release owners’ personal data.
- Never use the letter O for the digit 0. Letters Q and I are not used in standard VINs.
- For business/trust searches, use FEIN instead of individual SSN where applicable.
Abandoned Vehicle Owner Search
Property owners may request a title lookup for vehicles left on private property for 30+ days with no notice, per Wyoming Statute 31-13-109. Additional steps apply for unclear registration or bonded vehicles.
