045-5 Wyo. Code R. §§ 5-7 - Electronic Temporary License Permits

(a) Licensed dealers shall obtain electronic temporary license permits-authorized by the department-directly from the vendor. The department's Compliance and Investigation Program and the Licensing and Titling Section of the Motor Vehicle Services Program maintain vendor information.

(b) The department shall determine the fee for electronic temporary license permits, and remittance shall accompany the order. Vehicle dealers shall establish an account with the vendor and shall order, receive, and pay for electronic temporary license permits as agreed between the vendor and vehicle dealer. The department may facilitate this process at its own discretion, but only in extenuating circumstances.

(c) Vehicle dealers shall issue an electronic temporary license permit for all retail sales of vehicles eligible to display license plates. When issuing an electronic temporary license permit, all dealers shall advise the permit holder to carry or be able to produce a copy of the dealer invoice of sale for the vehicle on which the electronic temporary license permit is displayed. This permit serves as evidence of actual vehicle purchase.

(d) Dealers shall issue electronic temporary license permits in the same name(s) that appear(s) on the new title for the vehicle sold.

(i) Dealers shall not issue subsequent permits on the same vehicle in the same owner's name;

(ii) Lost or stolen permits shall be reported to the department and local law enforcement immediately; and

(iii) Upon department approval, a dealer may issue a duplicate permit in extenuating circumstances.

(e) If an electronic temporary license permit is filled out incorrectly, if the vehicle's sale is rescinded, or if for some other reason the permit is unusable, the dealer shall void the permit.

(f) The required information on the electronic temporary license permits shall be printed using permanent ink.

(g) The stub shall be detached from the electronic temporary license permit, and the permit shall be affixed to the rear license plate bolts or bracket. The stub portion shall be given to the customer to keep in the vehicle. The expiration date on the electronic temporary license permit shall be clearly legible from at least 30 feet away when displayed on the vehicle. The electronic temporary license permit may be placed in a clear permit holder to protect it from the elements, but no part of the printed information on the permit shall be obscured.

(h) Electronic temporary license permits sold to a dealership shall not be loaned or exchanged with other dealerships or be used on vehicles not sold from the issuing dealer's inventory.

(i) The department may deny the purchase of additional permits if a dealer violates any statute, rule, or regulation related to the dealer's business conduct or if the dealer fails to account for all electronic temporary license permits that the dealer purchased.
