Cost to Register a Car After Moving to Wyoming
Moving to Wyomingmeans re-titling and re-registering your vehicle as a new resident — and usually transferring your license and passing any required inspection first. Here's the full cost and the order to do it in, computed from Wyoming's current fee schedule.
One-time costs when you arrive
- Title fee$15.00
- One-time total$15.00
Your ongoing annual cost
For a typical three-year-old gas vehicle, expect about $345.00 per year — driving an EV changes that to $445.00. Wyoming registration pairs a $30 state fee with a county fee computed from the vehicle's factory cost: 3% of a service-rate percentage that starts at 60% of factory price in year one and steps down (50%, 40%, 30%, 20%) to a 15% floor from year six. A new $50,000 truck owes about $930 in year one, falling to about $255 from year six. The EV fee was cut to $100 in July 2026, with a new $50 plug-in hybrid fee.
Inspection you'll need before Wyoming will register it
Wyoming does not require a safety or emissions inspection to register a car, so there's nothing extra to pass or pay for on that front.
Transfer your out-of-state driver's license
New residents also swap their license. In Wyoming a license runs $30.00 to transfer, then $30.00 to renew every 5 years, issued by the Wyoming DOT. A REAL ID-compliant license costs no extra. Do this before you register — most states want a local license or proof of residency on the registration application.
Registering in Wyoming: common questions
How is the Wyoming county registration fee calculated?
Multiply the vehicle's factory cost by the service rate for its age (60% in year one, then 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, and 15% from year six), then take 3% of that. A $40,000 vehicle in year one: $40,000 × 60% × 3% = $720, on top of the $30 state fee.
Did Wyoming's EV fee change?
Yes — HB 145 cut it from $200 to $100 effective July 1, 2026, and added a $50 plug-in hybrid fee, alongside removing sales tax on EV charging.
