Quick Answer
No. Wyoming issues licenses only to applicants who prove U.S. citizenship or lawful presence, and an ITIN doesn't count. Since July 1, 2025, Wyoming also treats any out-of-state license issued to an undocumented immigrant as invalid, including Colorado's and Utah's. Driving on one is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail, a $750 fine, or both.
Can You Get a Driver's License in Wyoming Without Legal Status?
No. The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) requires non-citizens to prove lawful presence with documents such as a green card, a visa with an I-94, or an Employment Authorization Card, and it asks every applicant for a Social Security number. Wyoming has no license for residents without status, and an ITIN is only an IRS tax number.
Wyoming bases its document rules on W.S. 31-7-111. See WYDOT’s document list for non-U.S. citizens, which also requires 2 proofs of Wyoming residence.
Who Can Get a Wyoming Driver's License?
Citizens and green-card holders can get a Wyoming license, and so can non-citizens who bring documents showing lawful presence, such as a valid visa with an I-94 or an asylum or TPS approval, both on WYDOT's list. WYDOT asks for 1 proof of identity, every lawful-presence document you hold, and 2 proofs of residence, and it can request more before deciding.
- U.S. citizens and permanent residents
- Visa holders with an authorized stay
- Asylees, refugees and people with Temporary Protected Status
- Others whose documents WYDOT accepts as proof of authorized presence
Can I Drive in Wyoming With a License From Another State?
Not if it was issued to an undocumented immigrant. Since July 1, 2025, W.S. 31-7-143 makes any license issued outside Wyoming to a person not lawfully admitted to the U.S. invalid in Wyoming, along with any license marked as issued without proof of lawful presence. Driving on one is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail, a $750 fine, or both.
The law covers every state's licenses, not a fixed list, so Colorado's and Utah's count too. The only exception is for nonresidents who can demonstrate lawful presence in the U.S. Read 2025 Enrolled Act 33 (HB 116), and see which other states restrict these licenses.
Can I Drive in Wyoming With a License From My Country?
Under W.S. 31-7-107, nonresidents may drive on a valid license from their place of residence, and visitors who can show lawful presence keep that right. The 2025 law voids any license issued outside Wyoming to a person not lawfully admitted to the U.S., and its wording doesn't exclude foreign licenses, so an undocumented driver shouldn't rely on one. Residents need a Wyoming license.
An International Driving Permit only translates your license; carry it with the original.
What Are Your Options in Wyoming Without a License?
Of the 6 states bordering Wyoming, only Colorado and Utah license residents regardless of status, and Wyoming treats those licenses as invalid for undocumented drivers. Since July 1, 2025, that leaves 3 realistic options without lawful presence: rides and public transit, moving to a licensing state, or avoiding driving in Wyoming entirely.
- Rides and transit. Carpools, rideshare apps and buses avoid the misdemeanor charge, which carries up to 6 months in jail, a $750 fine, or both.
- Move to a licensing state. Colorado and Utah license residents regardless of status, but those licenses don't work inside Wyoming.
- Don't drive in Wyoming. If you drive between Colorado, Utah and other states on a license issued without lawful presence, plan routes that avoid Wyoming.

Can I drive through Wyoming on an out-of-state license?

Can DACA recipients get a Wyoming driver's license?
