(b) The resident licensee shall be present at the license selling agent location to purchase a license. The parent or legal guardian, in lieu of a resident youth applicant, may be present at the license selling agent location to purchase a license for the resident youth applicant.

(c) Resident licenses shall be signed at the time of purchase by the individual whose name appears on the license and in the presence of the license selling agent or license selling sub-agent. If a youth license is being purchased by the parent or legal guardian of the youth applicant, then the signature of the parent or legal guardian shall be signed at the time of purchase in the presence of the license selling agent or license selling sub-agent.

(d) The license selling agent or license selling sub-agent shall witness the resident signature, or parent or legal guardian signature for a youth applicant, on the license document prior to applying their signature on the license document.

(e) All resident licenses and permits shall contain the resident applicant's original signature and when applicable, the parent or legal guardian's signature in accordance with Wyoming statute and Commission regulation, prior to exercising the privileges of the license, permit, tag or stamp.
