A Fake ID
W.S. 12-6-101 — falsifying or using false identification to get alcohol is a misdemeanor
A person under twenty one years of age who tries in any way to buy alcohol, or who falsifies identification or uses false identification to get it, commits a misdemeanor, which carries up to six months, a fine of up to $750, or both where no other penalty is set.
Who handles this in Wyoming: Wyoming State Bar, attorney referrals; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Wyoming directory.
The seller's side. A driver's license, state ID, permanent resident card, military ID, or passport with a date of birth and photo is prima facie evidence of age. A licensee who asked for one, was shown it and reasonably relied on it has a defense.
