In Wyoming a teen can get an instruction permit at age 15. Rules and fees change, so as of 2026 treat this guide as a starting point and confirm everything with the official agency, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (dot.state.wy.us), which runs driver licensing.
Age, tests and the supervisor
A regular learner permit is for teens 15 and 16. You take a written exam and a vision screening, and a parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18. The permit is valid for one year. You must be with a licensed driver over age 18 while you practice. DMVZone does not list question counts or passing scores because you should confirm them with WYDOT.
The restricted permit for age 14
Wyoming is unusual because it has a hardship option for 14 and 15 year olds, usually tied to living or working far from school or a job. WYDOT lists reasons such as a school or job more than 5 miles away, a parent's business needs or extreme inconvenience. The restricted permit has tight limits.
- It is issued for 60 days.
- Driving is allowed from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- You must stay within 50 miles of home.
- A licensed adult age 18 or older must supervise.
- Applications are mailed to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, and approval can take up to six weeks.
Intermediate license at 16
At 16, a teen can apply for the intermediate license after holding a permit at least 10 days and completing 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving, with 10 of those hours at night. You take a driving skills test and a vision screening. Plan to hold the intermediate stage for at least six months or until age 17.
- Curfew: no driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
- Passengers: no more than one passenger under 18, not counting immediate family.
- Everyone in the car must wear a seat belt.
- Medical, work and school activity driving may be allowed with a signed exception form, which you must carry.
Wyoming's passenger rule counts passengers under 18 who are not immediate family. Your siblings are different from your friends, so learn the wording.
How to prepare and what to bring
- Study the Wyoming driver's manual in short sessions, with extra time on rural road topics such as long distances, wildlife and changing weather.
- Keep a log of your 50 hours, marking the 10 night hours.
- Use practice tests to find weak spots and re-read those sections.
- Practice the curfew and passenger rules out loud until they are automatic.
Bring the identity documents WYDOT requires and a parent or guardian signature for minors. Lists change, so check the current list on the WYDOT site before your visit.
DMVZone practice questions are for study only. They are not the real test questions, but they help you practice the topics the test covers.
