Minimum Coverage Requirements in Wyoming

SR-22 filing is typically required for DUI convictions, driving without insurance, license suspensions, and serious violations. Wyoming uses a 12-point suspension threshold, with points remaining on your record for 1 year from the conviction date.

Bodily Injury Liability

Wyoming's minimum 25/50 liability limits are among the lowest in the nation and typically insufficient for drivers with violations. High-risk drivers should consider 100/300 limits to protect assets and demonstrate financial responsibility, especially during SR-22 filing periods when any lapse or additional violation triggers steeper consequences.

Property Damage Liability

This limit may not cover a totaled newer vehicle or multi-car accident. Wyoming does not forgive liability gaps — if you cause damage beyond your limit, you pay the remainder or face collection and potential license suspension.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

If you're hit by an uninsured driver, you rely on your own collision and medical payments coverage or personal funds. High-risk drivers who carry only state minimums are especially vulnerable — one accident with an uninsured motorist can erase months of rate recovery progress if you have to pay your own repair and medical costs.

Full Coverage (Comprehensive + Collision)

Full coverage combines comprehensive (theft, weather, vandalism) and collision (accident damage to your vehicle). Lenders require it on financed vehicles.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a type of insurance — it's a certificate your insurer files with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to prove you carry at least state minimum liability. Any lapse in coverage during the SR-22 period triggers automatic license suspension and restarts the 3-year clock, so continuous coverage is critical.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Points on license: Wyoming's point system suspends your license at 12 points within 12 months. Points fall off 1 year from conviction date, but insurance surcharges may last 3–5 years.
  • Location: Cheyenne and Casper have higher average premiums than rural areas due to accident frequency and vehicle theft rates, though differences are smaller than in urban states.
  • Carrier availability: Not all standard carriers write high-risk policies in Wyoming. Non-standard carriers specializing in SR-22 and violation coverage are often the only option immediately after a DUI or suspension.
