Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office has announced that they will be cracking down on vehicle registration for non-residents working in the area. State law requires that any non-resident who is employed in Wyoming, either temporarily or full-time, and who owns or operates a personal vehicle while in Wyoming must immediately upon employment purchase a temporary registration or obtain a valid Wyoming registration. Exceptions exist but in all cases, anyone who is employed in Wyoming for longer than 120 days must obtain a regular, valid Wyoming registration. The fee for a temporary registration is $50 per month with temporary 30-, 60- and 90-day registration permits that may be obtained in any 12-month period. Failing to properly register a vehicle is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $750 in Wyoming.
