Those requiring an inspection outside of operational hours can call the Laramie Regional Office or the Cheyenne Headquarters Office, or contact a private inspector to schedule an appointment. 

 

Wyoming law requires any watercraft entering the state from March 1 through November 30 each year to be inspected for AIS before launching in Wyoming. Boaters can utilize private inspectors and certified inspection locations. If you will not encounter an open check station on your route, please contact the Laramie Regional Office to make arrangements for an inspection 

 

Watercraft last used on a water known to have invasive zebra or quagga mussels, must be inspected before launching in Wyoming during all months of the year.
