What to bring to the Wyoming WYDOT permit test

• One proof of legal presence (certified original): state-certified birth certificate (not a hospital certificate), valid U.S. passport or passport card, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, Certificate of Citizenship or Certificate of Naturalization
• One proof of identity (e.g. U.S. state driver license or ID card, certified birth certificate, passport, other government ID)
• Proof of name change if your current name differs (marriage certificate changes last name only; other changes need a court order)
• Two proofs of Wyoming residency showing your name and physical address (no P.O. box), no more than 45 days old and from different sources; a parent or guardian may provide them for a minor

Fees

• Class C license or permit (new): $45

The vision test

20/40 acuity with both eyes, with or without glasses, and a combined horizontal field of at least 120 degrees. Worse than 20/40 but at least 20/100 requires a driving skills test. Failing the screening requires a vision statement from an eye specialist.

Bring your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them to see clearly.

For the road test

• Your own vehicle: legally licensed, registered and insured
• Seat belts for driver and front-seat passenger
• Working brakes and brake lights, head and tail lights, turn signals, horn, rearview and driver-side mirrors
• Doors that open from inside and outside; windshield without vision-obstructing cracks; good wipers and tires
• Schedule in advance (oneWYO or local office) where required

What happens on the road test

After you pass: your permit

• Log 50 hours of supervised driving, 10 of them at night.
• Must be accompanied by a person 18 or older with a valid license at least equivalent to the vehicle being driven, in the front passenger seat

Before you go

Take a practice test or two the day before, and the exam simulator to check you can pass in the real format. Bring originals, not photocopies, unless the WYDOT says copies are accepted.
