Veteran Plates

Once filled out, the application must be submitted to the Wyoming Veterans Commission for confirmation of the applicant’s eligibility. WYDOT then will make the plates and ship them to the county treasurer’s office in the county in which the vehicle is registered for pickup.

Applications

Applications for license plates are available through county treasurer offices, WY Department of Transportation’s (WYDOT) Motor Vehicle Services office and the WYDOT website. All specialty license plates in Wyoming must be approved by the Legislature. To view available online application forms, select the Applications and Forms tab.

State law requires WYDOT to issue new license plates every eight years because that is the average life of the reflective materials on the plates.
