Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Online titles, e-signatures, deadlines

Beginning July 1, 2027, owners and buyers can apply for a Wyoming title online or at a county clerk. Clerks may issue an electronic title, or a paper title if you ask. A title is not delivered until you show a sales or use tax receipt or an exemption receipt. If a lien is filed, the clerk must send the lien and title copies to the lienholder within three business days. You can sign and deliver assignments and titles electronically. If a bank holds the title or an auction sells the vehicle, the title must be delivered in person or electronically within 30 days of sale.

Statewide electronic vehicle title system

The law creates a statewide electronic lien and title system run by WYDOT. It handles titles, liens, and sales or use tax payments. Vendors can run the system and charge per‑transaction fees, but not to the state or counties. County treasurers and clerks must send records to WYDOT within three business days. WYDOT keeps a statewide title record and VIN index. WYDOT must set rules now and report any ELT fee schedule when set or by November 1, 2026. Most parts start July 1, 2027.

Businesses must use electronic titles

Beginning July 1, 2027, dealers, lenders, lienholders, insurance companies, and secured parties must use the electronic system. All counties must use it too. People not in the business of financing vehicles can choose the electronic system or ask the county clerk for a paper title. Mobile home titles are not part of the electronic system.
