Wyoming Requirements
Drunk driving has serious consequences in Wyoming. This guide will explain the Wyoming interlock process.
The WY Ignition Interlock Program
The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is .08 percent, as it is in every state except Utah. Offenders caught driving with a BAC at or above .08 percent risk a variety of penalties, including license suspension. This is the case even for first offenders. However, some offenders may be able to get their driving privileges back during the suspension period if they install an ignition interlock device.
Wyoming has financial, criminal, and administrative penalties for DUI. Some of the penalties increase if there are prior offenses on record, or depending on what occurred during the incident.

How Do I Regain Driving Privileges in Wyoming?
Some offenders in Wyoming can obtain an ignition interlock restricted license, which will allow them to drive during a suspension period. Once they have been given notice of the interlock requirement from the Wyoming Department of Transportation, here is how offenders can obtain the restricted license:
- Install a state-approved interlock device in any vehicle you plan on driving, at an approved service center
- Provide a certificate of installation proving that your IID was installed by a Wyoming-certified technician
- Show proof of and file SR-22 insurance with the DOT
- Apply for the “IIR” restricted driver’s license
- Pay necessary fees, including the $50 reinstatement fee, regular driver’s license fee, and $100 IID administrative fee
Additional qualifications may be required depending on the offense. Commercial drivers license holders are not eligible for the IID restricted license.
