New Rules for Driver Licenses

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is implementing new and updated policies for Driver Services that will clarify driver license issues and provide ways to donate to conservation efforts. Laws that went into effect on July 1 include laws pertaining to Driver Licenses and State Identification Cards, Commercial Learner’s Permits, and Wildlife Conservation Efforts. One of the provisions under House Bill 005 adds language indicating that if and when the state moves forward with a digital driver license, it can do so. Besides the digital license language, the other provisions under the new law indicate that residents can only have one REAL ID compliant credential, which means they can either have a driver license or ID card, and that Driver Services can communicate by electronic means to residents once a system is in place. House Bill 007 extends the expiration date of the commercial learner’s permit from 180 days to 365 days. Under Senate File 0018, WYDOT will now enable residents who are applying for or renewing their driver licenses or ID cards to make a donation to the state’s wildlife conservation efforts and Senate File 0004 adds language that enables residents to make an additional donation to the state’s wildlife conservation fund when they apply for a new wildlife conservation license plate or when they pay their annual renewal fee.
