Wyoming Boat Registration Fee Calculator

Registering a boat in Wyoming costs a flat $40 per year. It's handled by the Wyoming Game & Fish (titles via county clerk) and renews annually. Non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes are generally exempt (check local rules for sailboats). Boats with motors — including trolling motors on otherwise unpowered craft — almost always require registration.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to register a kayak or canoe in Wyoming?

Generally no — unpowered craft are exempt in Wyoming. But the moment you mount any motor, including an electric trolling motor, registration is required.

How often do I renew a boat registration in Wyoming?

Annually.

Do I have to register my boat trailer separately in Wyoming?

Yes — in Wyoming the boat and the trailer are two separate registrations. The boat's fee is above; the trailer registers as a utility trailer with the motor-vehicle agency, priced by the trailer's weight (often a low flat fee or a one-time permanent plate). See our Wyoming trailer registration calculator for that cost.

Do I need a title for my boat in Wyoming?

Yes — Wyoming issues a boat title for a one-time $15 fee, generally required for larger or newer motorized vessels (smaller craft are often exempt). The title is separate from the registration fee shown above.

Do I have to register a jet ski or PWC in Wyoming?

Yes — personal watercraft (jet skis, Sea-Doos, WaveRunners) are motorized vessels, so they register just like boats in Wyoming, usually in the smallest length class. The same Wyoming Game & Fish (titles via county clerk) handles them, and the same fee schedule applies.

Where do I register a boat in Wyoming?

Boat registration in Wyoming is handled by the Wyoming Game & Fish (titles via county clerk). You can generally register in person, by mail, or online, and you'll need proof of ownership (a bill of sale or title) plus the fee shown above. Renew every year before your decal expires.
