Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need SR-22 to reinstate my license in Wyoming?
Only if your suspension resulted from DUI, reckless driving, accumulating 12 or more points within 12 months, driving while suspended, or an uninsured motorist violation. Administrative suspensions for unpaid tickets, child support arrears, or failure to appear do not require SR-22 filing, though you must still carry minimum liability coverage to reinstate. The Wyoming Department of Transportation notifies you by certified mail if SR-22 is required for your specific suspension.
Can I get a hardship license in Wyoming while suspended?
Wyoming offers Occupational/Hardship licenses for drivers suspended due to DUI or point accumulation, allowing driving only to work, school, medical appointments, or court-ordered treatment. You must serve a minimum suspension period (30–90 days depending on violation), install an ignition interlock device for DUI, and maintain SR-22 insurance. Apply through the Wyoming Department of Transportation Driver Services with proof of employment or enrollment.
How long do I have to keep SR-22 in Wyoming?
Three years for DUI convictions, two years for reckless driving, and one year for uninsured motorist violations or point suspensions. The filing period begins on your reinstatement date, not your suspension date. Any lapse in coverage during this period triggers immediate re-suspension and restarts the entire SR-22 requirement from day one.
Do I need insurance if my license is currently suspended?
Yes, if you plan to reinstate. Wyoming requires proof of continuous insurance for at least 30 days prior to reinstatement, and SR-22 filers must show uninterrupted coverage. If you don't own a vehicle, a non-owner policy satisfies this requirement. If you let your policy lapse during suspension, you'll delay your reinstatement date and potentially extend your SR-22 filing period.
Coverage Types
SR-22 Insurance
A state-mandated certificate proving continuous coverage, filed directly with Wyoming DOT by your insurer. Required for DUI, reckless driving, 12+ points, and driving while suspended — typically for 3 years post-reinstatement.
Non-Owner SR-22
Liability-only coverage for drivers who don't own a vehicle but need SR-22 filing to reinstate. Covers you when driving borrowed or rental vehicles during your suspension period.
Liability Insurance
Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. Wyoming's 25/50/20 minimum is the legal floor, but 50/100/50 or higher limits protect you from personal liability in serious accidents.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays for your injuries and vehicle damage when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Optional in Wyoming but must be offered by every insurer.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage: hail, wildlife strikes, theft, vandalism, and weather events. Particularly relevant in Wyoming where deer and elk collisions are common and summer hailstorms cause widespread vehicle damage.
Non-Standard Auto Insurance
Specialized high-risk coverage for drivers with suspensions, DUI convictions, or multiple violations. Non-standard insurers accept SR-22 filings and offer flexible payment plans for drivers rebuilding their record.
