Wyoming Immigration Laws

Immigration law is primarily federal, but Wyoming has taken a notably enforcement-oriented approach at the state level. Wyoming does not issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants and enacted a 2025 law invalidating out-of-state licenses issued to noncitizens without lawful status. Wyoming does not require E-Verify for employers (it is voluntary), does not offer in-state tuition to undocumented students, and has no sanctuary policies.
