Destination-level research notes for reviewer: Wyoming Title 31 defines jurisdiction to include U.S. states, districts, territories, and possessions, a foreign country, and a state or province of a foreign country. For Title 31 vehicle-registration purposes, a Wyoming resident includes a person gainfully employed or engaged in a trade, profession, or occupation in Wyoming and who owns, leases, rents, or otherwise lives in Wyoming for employment, or a person who remains in Wyoming for 120 days or more, unless exempt. Other resident triggers include claiming a Wyoming homestead or military tax exemption, registering to vote in Wyoming, applying for Wyoming public assistance, or holding a Wyoming resident hunting or fishing license. Wyoming's Driver's License Act defines resident by reference to the Title 31 resident definition and defines nonresident as a person who is not a resident of Wyoming. Wyoming requires a person to have a valid driver license for the class/type/endorsements of the motor vehicle driven unless exempt. A Wyoming driver-license applicant must surrender all valid physical driver licenses or REAL ID-compliant state ID cards in the person's possession before receiving a Wyoming license. The statute's surrender section is written around licenses or IDs issued by this or any other state. Wyoming exempts a nonresident who has immediate possession of a valid license issued by the licensing authority in the person's place of residence, if the nonresident's license is not invalid under Wyoming's unauthorized-alien rule or the nonresident can demonstrate lawful presence in the United States. Wyoming exempts a nonresident full-time student at the University of Wyoming, a Wyoming community college, or a licensed post-secondary school in Wyoming if the person has immediate possession of a valid license from the licensing authority of the person's place of residence, subject to the same unauthorized-alien caveat. Wyoming exempts a resident who possesses a valid license issued by a member state of the Driver License Compact for one year after residency for noncommercial licenses, or 30 days for commercial licenses.
