| Studio | $600-$1,050 | $1,250-$2,000 |

New-resident deadlines
| State | Topic | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Colorado | Driver's license | New Colorado residents must get a Colorado driver's license within 30 days of establishing residency. |
| Colorado | Vehicle registration | Vehicles must be registered with Colorado DMV within 90 days of establishing residency — a notably longer window than the driver's license deadline. |
| Wyoming | Driver's license | New Wyoming residents have a full year — 365 days from the date Wyoming residency is established — to exchange an out-of-state license for a Wyoming license through WYDOT Driver Services. |
| Wyoming | Vehicle registration | Wyoming law requires registering a vehicle once residency or employment is established, but does not specify a fixed grace-period deadline the way most states do; registration is handled locally through the County Treasurer's office (titling through the County Clerk) rather than a single statewide DMV counter. |
