| Under certain circumstances, County Treasurers are allowed to issue temporary registrations on vehicles. These temporaries are different than the temporaries that dealerships issue and have specific requirements.
One requirement is that sales tax must be paid before any temporary is issued.
County Treasurers are allowed to sell a 30, 60 or 90 day temporary registration under the following circumstances:
- Following the purchase of a vehicle. The temporary would expire 30, 60 or 90 days from the date of purchase.
- A non-resident who is working in the state temporarily may obtain a temporary registration sticker for $30. The sticker is good for 90 days from the date of purchase. In order to qualify for this sticker, the applicant must have a valid registration from another state or country.
Only 1 temporary registration may be issued to any vehicle in a 12 month period. Therefore, if any temporary is issued from the Treasurer's Office, once it expires it cannot be extended and a second temporary can not be issued until 1 year from the temporary expiration.
Residents with current or expired Wyoming plates cannot obtain a temporary for their vehicles.
Fees
Temporaries cost a portion of the yearly licensing fees, as follows:
- 30 day temporary: 10% of yearly fee
- 60 day temporary: 20% of yearly fee
- 90 day temporary: 30% of yearly fee
If regular Wyoming license plates are purchased after the purchase of a temporary registration, they will expire a year from the temporary expiration date. For example, if you purchase a vehicle on April 15th and get a 30 day temporary, the temporary would expire on May 15th. When you then purchase regular license plates, the plates will expire in May instead of April.
