Can You Drive a Golf Cart on the Street in Wyoming?
Only if it's registered as a multipurpose vehicle. Wyoming handles golf carts differently from most states — rather than a separate low-speed vehicle class, it folds qualifying carts into its multipurpose vehicle (MPV) category. Under W.S. § 31-5-124, a multipurpose vehicle may be operated on public streets and highways, subject to key limits: it may not be operated on interstate highways, and if it can't reach the road's maximum speed it must keep to the extreme right edge. To be street-legal, the MPV must be registered under W.S. § 31-2-232 through WYDOT.

What Counts as a Multipurpose Vehicle
Per WYDOT's multipurpose vehicle program (rooted in the definition at W.S. § 31-1-101), an MPV must have at least four wheels in contact with the ground, an unladen weight generally between 300 and 3,000 pounds, a permanent seat at least 24 inches off the ground, and an assigned identifying number — and it must carry the equipment WYDOT requires for road use. Once titled and registered, the MPV displays plates and is driven by a licensed operator carrying insurance. A slower MPV that can't keep pace must stay to the right edge of the roadway.
The Street-Legal Path for Wyoming Buyers
You cannot simply drive an off-the-lot golf cart on Wyoming roads — it must be a qualifying vehicle titled and registered as a multipurpose vehicle through WYDOT. Factory-built, FMVSS 500-certified street-legal models like the DENAGO CITY come with a manufacturer VIN, DOT lighting, mirrors, and seat belts.
