Wyoming License Plates

The Wyoming Department of Transportation requires all drivers to register and title their motor vehicles. Wyoming drivers are also given the chance to personalize their license plates. Wyoming is rather famous for its "bucking bronco" emblem, which it has been using since 1936.

Personalized Wyoming License Plates

In Wyoming, personalized Wyoming license plates are called prestige plates. You can get prestige plates from the Wyoming Motor Vehicle Services.

There are some guidelines set by Wyoming regarding prestige plates:

• Plates can contain a maximum of four characters
• Only capital letters and numbers are allowed.
• Applicants may not use symbols or punctuation marks.
• The message cannot be obscene or vulgar.
