Wyoming Gift Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Prepare a bill of sale with 'GIFT' written clearly as the sale price and the family relationship noted (e.g., 'father gifting to son')
- Donor signs the back of the existing Wyoming title, completing the assignment to the recipient
- Recipient locates their county clerk's office — Wyoming's 23 county clerks handle all vehicle title transfers
- Recipient brings the signed title, bill of sale, proof of insurance, and photo ID to the county clerk
- Complete the transfer within 30 days of the gift date to avoid late fees
- Pay applicable title and registration fees (4% sales tax waived for qualifying family gifts)
- Recipient receives a new Wyoming title in their name and new registration documents
- Keep a copy of the signed bill of sale and completed title for your records
Common Pitfalls
- Not writing 'GIFT' on the bill of sale or omitting the family relationship — the county clerk may assess Wyoming's 4% sales tax on the vehicle's market value
- Going to the wrong office — Wyoming uses county clerks for vehicle titles, not a central DMV; confirm your county clerk's location and hours
- Missing the 30-day title transfer deadline, resulting in late fees at the county level
- Gifting to an extended family member such as a cousin, aunt, or uncle — only spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, and grandchild qualify for the sales tax exemption
- Failing to release an existing lien before transfer — the lienholder must provide a written lien release before the county clerk can issue a new title
Pro Tip
Wyoming's county clerk system is unique — find your specific county office before you go, bring the gift bill of sale and signed title, and complete the transfer within 30 days.
Wyoming Gift Bill of Sale — FAQs
Why does Wyoming use county clerks instead of a DMV for vehicle title transfers?
Wyoming does not have a centralized DMV for title and registration services. All 23 county clerks handle vehicle titles, registrations, and related fees at the local level. Find your county clerk at the WYDOT website.
Which family members qualify for Wyoming's vehicle gift tax exemption?
Spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, and grandchild qualify for the exemption from Wyoming's 4% sales tax. Extended family members such as cousins, aunts, uncles, and in-laws do not qualify.
Does Wyoming require any specific state form for a gift vehicle transfer?
Wyoming does not have a dedicated statewide gift affidavit form. A bill of sale with 'GIFT' written as the consideration amount and the family relationship noted is typically sufficient, along with the signed title. Confirm specific requirements with your county clerk.
Is there a Wyoming vehicle inspection required for a gift transfer?
No. Wyoming has no statewide safety or emissions inspection requirement. The transfer can be completed without an inspection certificate.
What if the vehicle was titled in another state?
Bring the out-of-state title (signed over to the recipient) and the gift bill of sale to the county clerk. Wyoming will issue a new Wyoming title. A VIN verification may be required for some out-of-state vehicles.
