Wyo. Stat. § 31-11-108 (2026)

notification where number altered; penalties for violations.

     (a) Every dealer shall examine, without charge, the
vehicle identification number of every vehicle coming into his
possession except those vehicles received by him for the express
purpose of repairs that do not require the replacement of any
component that bears a vehicle identification number. The dealer
is not required to examine the vehicle identification number of
the same vehicle more than once in the same calendar year when
the dealer knows that the person in possession of the vehicle is
the lawful owner. The dealer shall promptly notify the local
sheriff's office if the vehicle identification number of the
vehicle has been altered, changed or obliterated as to make the
number indecipherable or if the vehicle identification number or
the state registration license number of the vehicle does not
correspond with the vehicle identification number of the vehicle
state registration certificate.

     (b) Any person knowingly violating this section shall be
punished by a fine not to exceed seven hundred fifty dollars
($750.00), by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six
(6) months, or both.

     (c) Any person knowingly and with intent to defraud
violating this section shall be punished by a fine not to exceed
five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), by imprisonment not to exceed
five (5) years, or both.
