Wyoming car selling questions
Do I need a title to sell my car in Wyoming?
For a titled vehicle, yes: the title is how ownership passes to the buyer. To replace a lost Wyoming title, apply to the Wyoming Department of Transportation (titles through your County Clerk) with Affidavit of loss filed with the county clerk. The fee is $15.
Can I junk a car without a title in Wyoming?
No. WYDOT requires salvage yards to obtain a properly executed title for every vehicle received. W.S. 31-11-110 requires owners to surrender the title when a vehicle is sold as salvage. A lost title needs a duplicate. To replace a lost Wyoming title, apply to the Wyoming Department of Transportation (titles through your County Clerk) with Affidavit of loss filed with the county clerk. The fee is $15.
Does the title need to be notarized in Wyoming?
Yes. Wyoming requires the seller's signature on the title to be notarized, so plan a stop at a bank, shipping store or mobile notary before pickup. Sign the seller section exactly as your name appears on the front of the title.
Do I keep my license plates when I sell a car in Wyoming?
In Wyoming, the plates belong to the seller, not the car. Seller must remove plates; may transfer them to another vehicle within 60 days. Close family transfers can keep plates.
Is pickup really free everywhere in Wyoming?
Yes. Towing is free anywhere in Wyoming a tow truck can reach, and nothing is deducted from your offer for it.
