How Wyoming SR-22 Filing Works

In Wyoming, the SR-22 is a "Certificate of Financial Responsibility." It is a digital document filed by your insurance carrier directly with the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) Driver Services. It serves as legal evidence that you maintain the state-mandated minimum liability insurance (25/50/20) required to restore and keep your driving privileges.

The "Re-Suspension" Trap

If your policy cancels or lapses for even one day, your carrier is legally required to file an SR-26 Notice. This triggers an immediate suspension of your license by WYDOT and may reset your 3-year filing period in Wyoming.

Who Needs to File in WY?

DUI / DWUI Conviction: Driving While Under the Influence is the primary reason for an SR-22 mandate.
Uninsured Accident: Being involved in a reportable accident while failing to maintain valid liability insurance.
Safety Responsibility: Failure to provide proof of insurance when requested by law enforcement or following a citation.
License Revocation: Any administrative hold or court order requiring proof of financial responsibility for reinstatement.

Don't Own a Car in Wyoming?

You can still get reinstated! A Wyoming Non-Owner SR-22 Policy covers you as a driver for any vehicle you borrow or rent. It satisfies the WYDOT requirement and is typically much cheaper than a standard owner's policy.

Wyoming Filing FAQs

How much is the filing fee in Wyoming?

Most insurance carriers charge a one-time fee of $15-$25 to electronically file the certificate with WYDOT. This is separate from your monthly premium.

Can I drive out of state with a WY SR-22?

Yes. Your Wyoming SR-22 is valid nationwide. You must simply maintain the WY-specific limits (25/50/20) to remain compliant with state law.

What is the difference between SR-22 and normal insurance?

An SR-22 is not insurance; it is a certificate of financial responsibility attached to your policy that notifies the state if your coverage lapses.

Can I get a Non-Owner policy in WY?

Yes, Wyoming allows Non-Owner SR-22 filings. It is often the most cost-effective way to restore your license if you do not own a vehicle.

Will my license be suspended if I miss a payment?

Yes. Wyoming law requires insurers to notify WYDOT immediately (via SR-26) if your policy lapses, which triggers an instant automatic suspension.

How do I remove the SR-22 after 3 years?

Once your 3-year mandate expires, contact WYDOT Driver Services to confirm the requirement is fulfilled. You can then instruct your insurer to remove the filing.
