Considerations for moving to Cheyenne

  • Weather: August, July and June are the most pleasant months in Cheyenne, while December and February are the least comfortable months.
  • HOA rules: Check ahead with any neighborhood or community rules on moving to ensure a smooth move.
  • Elevator reservation: If your building has an elevator you'll want to check on how to reserve it for move day.
  • Truck parking permits: Some cities require parking permits for large vehicles and moving trucks. Find out if you need any parking permits ahead of time.
  • State licensing: Wyoming mandates that all moving companies secure a license for the state. They must acquire an official letter of intrastate control from the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). The license gives them permission to carry clients or belongings and pay for these services in the state. Moving companies need to fulfill insurance and finish all WY required forms. Make sure the moving company you use has a license before hiring.
  • State regulator: You can verify a Wyoming moving license and its status through the state's public utilities commission.
  • Moving permits: Wyoming does not require any moving permits, but it is helpful to check local parking restrictions before moving into the state.
  • Change of address: We recommend submitting your change of address form with USPS at least a week prior to your move. You can set an official move date on the form and this way all of your mail will get properly forwarded to Cheyenne. Get started here.
  • Moving company insurance: Every state requires moving companies to carry different levels of insurance. When planning a move in Wyoming, prioritize comprehensive movers' insurance for added protection. Many moving companies offer Released Value Protection at no extra cost, covering items at 60 cents per pound. Enhance your coverage by discussing Full Value Protection with the moving company or exploring personalized plans from third-party insurance providers. Understand coverage limits, potential extra costs, and read reviews to make an informed decision on your Wyoming state moving insurance. Secure your move with the right insurance coverage for a stress-free relocation experience.
