Official sources differ: Documents to bring

The registered 2021 handbook, physical page 8, requires evidence of the Social Security number for first-time driver-license/ID applicants. The current 2025 agency checklists explicitly covering permits (separate US-citizen and non-US-citizen documents) require the number but call documentary proof recommended, not required.

For first-time driver-license or ID applicants, the handbook lists a certified birth record, valid US passport or immigration documents, proof connecting a changed surname, and documentation of the Social Security number. It also requires two Wyoming residency documents with a residential address. The current permit checklists differ on Social Security evidence and add detailed residency-document conditions; those positions remain recorded as alternatives.

For US citizens who have not already provided documents to Driver Services: one legal-presence document, one identity document, applicable name-change evidence, and two residency documents showing the applicant’s name and physical address, no older than 45 days and from different entities. A parent or guardian may supply a minor’s residency evidence. Supply a Social Security number; evidence of that number is recommended, not mandatory. Certified originals or issuing-agency-certified copies are required; photocopies, notarized documents and online printouts are rejected. Driver Services may request more evidence.
Official source 2Checked October 27, 2026PDF page 1
For non-US citizens: at least one identity document, every document establishing lawful presence, applicable name-change evidence and two residency documents showing name and physical address, no older than 45 days and from different entities. A parent or guardian may supply a minor’s residency evidence. Immigration documents are required for every service. Supply a Social Security number; documentary proof is recommended, not mandatory. Certified originals or issuing-agency-certified copies are required; photocopies, notarized documents and online printouts are rejected. The checklist is not exhaustive and Driver Services may request more information.

Confirm the applicable rule with the agency before relying on either statement.

Official sources differ: Rule

For instruction permits the handbook, physical page 10, says the supervisor is 18 or older. The current regular learner-permit page says over the age of 18. Do not treat these thresholds as identical. The same agency page separately says age 18 years or older for a restricted hardship learner permit; that is a different permit scope.

For an instruction permit, the handbook requires a supervisor age 18 or older, licensed for the vehicle type, in the front passenger seat. The current regular-learner-permit page instead says the supervisor must be over 18; this age wording is unresolved.
Official source 1Checked October 27, 2026PDF page 10
For a regular learner permit, the agency page requires a supervisor over age 18 who has a license at least equivalent to the vehicle and sits in the front passenger seat.
Official source 2Checked October 27, 2026
The agency’s separate restricted hardship permit requires an accompanying licensed adult age 18 or older.
