Quick answers
How much is a Wyoming ID card?
An identification card costs $10 and is issued for eight years. You cannot hold both a driver license and an ID card at the same time.
Official page: dot.state.wy.us/home/driver_license_records/id_cards.html
What documents do I need for a first ID?
The state sheet asks for one proof of identity, such as a certified birth certificate or a valid passport, and two proofs of current residence with your name and physical address, no more than 30 to 45 days old. A Social Security number proof is recommended. Call 307 777 4800 and press 1 for the list.
Can the ID fee be waived if I am homeless?
The state ID page lists the $10 fee and does not mention a fee waiver or a rule for people without an address. Call Driver Services at 307 777 4800 and ask what they accept as proof of residence if you do not have a mailing address.

All done. You are ready, friend.
Bunkly tip: start with the birth certificate. It is the document most other offices ask for first, and it opens the door to the rest.
