Permits & Reciprocity

Visitors riding ATVs or UTVs on eligible Wyoming public routes generally need a Wyoming ORV permit; out-of-state stickers and permits do not replace it.

Wyoming visitors pay the same flat annual ORV decal amount as residents; check the official seller for current fees, permit timing and route requirements.

Wyoming ATV and UTV riders can face citations for leaving open routes; check land rules, maps, signs, and the citation before riding or responding.
