Current Initiatives
Wyoming Driver License Veteran Designation
To qualify for the designation, the veteran must have served at least one period of honorable service which resulted in the issuing of a DD214. A copy of your separation papers and a verification form must be submitted to the Wyoming Veterans Commission at least one week before going to a WYDOT Driver Exam Station.
Wyoming Military Related License Plates
The vehicle must be titled in the name of the veteran or the veteran may have joint ownership with a member of the immediate family. All special license plates are issued and renewed at the County Treasurer’s Office. All applicants for military-related license plates must be Wyoming residents and meet the eligibility criteria as prescribed by the Wyoming statute. Application, registration, and plate fees can be obtained from the local County Treasurer’s Office.
