You will need to obtain a CDL replacement in Wyoming if your CDL license is lost, stolen, or damaged. Like a regular driver’s license, you will need to have your CDL license on you every time that you operate a motor vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to continue driving a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) after you misplace your license, you will need to replace it as soon as possible.

To replace a CDL license, you will need to apply in person through the Wyoming Department of Transportation (DOT). You cannot apply for a replacement online. However, you may be able to apply by mail, if you are eligible. To obtain a replacement CDL, you will need to fill out the application form, pay the replacement fee, and get a new photo taken for your replacement license. Then, the DOT will issue you a duplicate license, and you can resume driving a CMV.

When do you need to get a duplicate CDL license in Wyoming?

If you have a damaged, stolen or lost CDL driver’s license in Wyoming, you will need to obtain a replacement. It is illegal to operate a CMV without possessing a CDL license, which can result in fees and citations if confronted by law enforcement. If your CDL license is stolen, you may want to file a police report with law enforcement. Though it is not mandatory, doing so can help protect your identity.
