Wyoming drivers can buy rescue license plates
Beginning January 1, 2026, you can get Wyoming search and rescue plates for a noncommercial vehicle you own or lease. You pay a $150 eligibility fee, plus ordinary plate fees. Keeping eligibility costs $50 each year, except in the year you pay the $150 fee. Apply at least 30 days before registration is due; county treasurers issue the plates. You can display them only on the vehicle for which they were issued. Plate fees support authorized search and rescue work. Production ends if fewer than 1,000 sets are issued before December 31, 2032. The transportation department must report that shutdown to lawmakers by January 15, 2033. If production continues, plate redesigns follow the regular state schedule beginning with the 2033 reissuance cycle.
Drivers can donate to search and rescue
The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and requires vehicle registration forms to offer voluntary search and rescue donations. Plate applicants can also give extra money when applying and renewing. County treasurers send collected donations to the state search and rescue account. The account can also receive grants, donations, and gifts left in wills. The state treasurer can invest these gifts, with earnings returned to the account. The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security manages the account and has ongoing authority to spend it on authorized search and rescue purposes.
