Wyoming · How to Get a Permit
Getting your Wyoming learner's permit is straightforward once you know exactly what to bring and what to expect. This step-by-step guide covers every requirement so you walk into the DMV ready.
Most first-time applicants complete the whole process in one DMV visit. The biggest reason people fail? They don't pass the written knowledge test. Practice free questions below before you go.
You must be at least 15 years old to apply for a Wyoming learner permit; restricted hardship permits are available at 14.
Bring proof of identity, your Social Security number, and proof of Wyoming residency.
WYDOT Driver Services issues permits at exam offices. Wyoming's automated written test is administered in English only.
A vision test is performed at the exam office. Bring glasses or contacts if you wear them.
The Wyoming test has 25 questions from the Wyoming Rules of the Road Driver Manual. You need 20 correct answers (80%) to pass. Retakes are allowed, but you must wait at least 1 day between attempts.
The permit fee is about $40, paid at the exam office.
Driver education isn't required for the permit but supports the graduated licensing path for minors.
Minors hold the permit and complete the required supervised practice hours before the intermediate license. Applicants who cannot speak English may use an interpreter for non-commercial written tests.
Three sample questions from our practice bank. Read the explanation after each.
