Minimum Coverage Requirements in Wyoming
Wyoming operates under a tort system, meaning the at-fault driver's liability coverage pays for injuries and property damage after an accident. The state requires all drivers to carry proof of financial responsibility, typically satisfied through liability insurance. After a DUI conviction, Wyoming law mandates SR-22 filing — a certificate your insurer files directly with the Wyoming Department of Transportation confirming you maintain continuous coverage at or above state minimums for 3 years from the filing date.

What Affects Your Rate
- DUI conviction date — surcharges peak in the first 12 months post-conviction and decline gradually over 3 to 5 years depending on carrier policy.
- BAC at arrest — convictions with BAC .15 or higher (aggravated DUI in Wyoming) trigger higher surcharges and longer filing periods in some carrier underwriting models.
- Rural county location — drivers in Laramie, Natrona, and Campbell counties face lower base premiums than Teton County, where collision frequency and repair costs are higher due to tourism traffic and wildlife collisions.
- SR-22 filing duration — Wyoming requires 3-year SR-22 after first-offense DUI, but second-offense or refusal cases may trigger 5-year filing requirements depending on court order and DMV administrative action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is SR-22 required after a DUI in Wyoming?
Wyoming requires SR-22 filing for 3 years from the conviction date for first-offense DUI. Second-offense DUI or refusal cases may trigger 5-year filing requirements depending on court order and Wyoming Department of Transportation administrative action. The filing must remain continuous — any lapse restarts the 3-year clock and re-suspends your license.
What is a Probationary License in Wyoming?
A Probationary License is Wyoming's term for restricted driving privileges during a DUI suspension. The court sets approved driving hours and purposes — typically work, school, medical appointments, DUI treatment programs, and ignition interlock service appointments. Driving outside approved hours or purposes is a separate criminal offense and terminates your probationary period.
Coverage Types
SR-22 Insurance
SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with WYDOT proving you carry continuous liability coverage for 3 years after a DUI. The filing itself costs $25 to $50, but the DUI conviction surcharge raises your premium 80% to 150%.
Non-Owner SR-22
If you no longer own a vehicle, a non-owner SR-22 policy satisfies Wyoming's filing requirement at lower cost. It covers liability when you drive a borrowed or rental car and files SR-22 on your behalf.
Probationary License Insurance
Wyoming calls its hardship license a Probationary License. You must carry SR-22 insurance at or above state minimums for the entire probationary period, which typically runs 6 to 12 months depending on court order.
Ignition Interlock Insurance
Wyoming does not mandate ignition interlock devices for first-offense DUI unless BAC was .15 or higher or the conviction involved a minor passenger. Carriers do not surcharge for IID installation itself, but the device costs $70 to $150 to install and $60 to $90 per month to maintain.
Liability Insurance
Liability coverage pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others. Wyoming's 25/50/20 minimum often proves insufficient in multi-vehicle crashes — one hospital visit exceeds $25,000.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage pays your medical bills and lost wages if an uninsured driver hits you. Wyoming does not require it, but carriers add it automatically unless you reject it in writing at policy inception.
