Like most other motor vehicles, custom-built and antique vehicles must be properly registered and titled in the state of Wyoming. However, the process of registering an antique or custom-built vehicle is the same as registering a regular vehicle if it still has the original VIN- vehicle identification number, issued by the manufacturer. If you have brought an antique or custom-built vehicle into Wyoming for a first time registration, or if you have custom-assembled a vehicle in the State, particularly if the part that has the original VIN is modified or replaced in any manner you will be referred to a County Treasurer/Clerk's Office near you to get a VIN. Only residents of Wyoming can be issued a Wyoming VIN.

WHAT ARE ANTIQUE AND CUSTOM BUILT VEHICLES?

• In Wyoming, an antique vehicle is a Street Rod and is defined as any motor vehicle that was manufactured on or before 1948 or resembles a vehicle from that period, though manufactured after 1949.
• The State defines a custom-built vehicle as any motor vehicle that has been assembled or completely reconstructed using new or used parts. The model year will be the year that the vehicle body looks like.

HOW TO REGISTER AN ANTIQUE OR CUSTOM BUILT VEHICLE

You will have to visit a County Treasurer/Clerk's Office near you to register your antique or custom-built Vehicle. When registering a custom-built or antique vehicle, you will need to bring the following materials to the renewal office:

1. A completed and notarized Title Application, when obtaining a title for a new, custom-built vehicle.
2. The Certificate of Title or manufacturer's certificate of origin, for antique or custom vehicles that have already been titled.
3. Authorized Law Enforcement officer's report in the relevant form certifying that a VIN is absent and that you lawfully own the vehicle. Then you have to fill a form to be assigned a special VIN.
4. Bill of Sale or receipts of different parts used that prove that you own the vehicle.
5. An Inspector's Report, certifying that the vehicle is safe to take on the road.

FEES

When registering an antique or custom-built vehicle, you will be required to contact the local County Clerk's office and pay the appropriate titling fees and $1 as application processing fee. Check the accepted methods of payment.

RENEWING A CUSTOM-BUILT OR ANTIQUE VEHICLE REGISTRATION

Your custom-built or antique vehicle's registration will clearly indicate when it will expire. The process for renewing the registration on a custom or antique vehicle is the same as renewing the registration on a regular motor vehicle.
