Care facility residents gain limited mail renewals
Beginning July 1, 2026, full-time Wyoming nursing home and assisted living residents can renew state identification cards by mail. They must send an application, the required fee, and a notarized statement from the facility administrator or manager confirming full-time residency. They must also send documents proving any material changes to information on the original card. After more than two such renewals in the past 16 years, another requires a state transportation department photo no more than 16 years old. This method cannot be used to change personal identifying information. Beginning July 1, 2026, the department must send renewal notices at least 120 days before cards expire. Notices go to the last address on file, or the email or other electronic contact on file with consent. Notices must explain the mail-renewal option and that voters at regular or absentee polling places must show acceptable identification. They must also state that an identification card is acceptable voter identification. The department must adopt rules to carry out the law; this rulemaking requirement took effect when the act became law.
