Laramie County records: Cheyenne counters, property archives and judicial files

Choose the correct County Clerk division

Laramie County places several County Clerk services in the governmental complex in Cheyenne, but each division has a separate suite and contact. Recording and marriage services use Suite 1600 at 309 West 20th Street and telephone 307-633-4350. Elections uses Suite 1500, while administration and motor-vehicle titles have other suites. A request addressed only to a county clerk may need further routing if the intended document is a court case rather than a recorded instrument. Identify the service first and use the County Clerk division directory for its published contact and mailing details.

Connect the archive, modern index and copy product

The recording office identifies a historical archive running from 1868 through October 24, 1985, and a modern recorded-document service beginning October 25, 1985. Remote access uses subscriptions, while office research and viewing are free. Use the property's legal description, not only its street address. Printed copies are $0.50 per page and emailed copies $1 per page; certification adds $5 to copying charges. New recordings have a $12 first-page base and $3 for each later page, with applicable name, description and related-document charges. The free document-alert option sends notices of matches; it does not decide a document's legal effect. The Real Estate and Recordings instructions describe the collections, fees and alert service.

Ask the Assessor for the property identifier

The Assessor maintains the valuation side of property research, separate from the County Clerk's recorded instruments. If the street address is all that is known, establish the parcel and legal description before attempting a land-document search. The Assessor lists 309 West 20th Street, Suite 1100, and telephone 307-633-4307; its mailing address is P.O. Box 307, Cheyenne, WY 82003-0307. Its official resources also link parcel viewing, property data, valuation reports and review information. Use the Assessor's property resources to identify the assessment material needed and retain the resulting parcel information with the separately retrieved deed.

Separate a new license from a previously issued certificate

Laramie County issues marriage licenses by appointment on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The local $30 license product includes the first official certificate when the completed license is returned in person. A later copy of a previously issued certificate is a different request, directed through the vital-record process. The clerk requires the completed worksheet and applicant information for the license appointment and does not perform the ceremony itself. Arrange the license and ceremony as separate steps and use the issuing office for return instructions. The marriage-license guidance explains the local product and later certificate route.

Use the state certificate application and its fee

Wyoming's certificate application lists $25 for a standard birth, marriage or divorce certificate and $25 for the first death certificate in a request. Additional death copies ordered with that request are $20 each. A photocopy of an original record and an extended search are separately priced products. Those prices should not be confused with a County Clerk license charge or a court's fee for a full divorce decree. Supply the event and applicant details, identity evidence, payment and return arrangements required by the state certified-copy application published through the Vital Records forms directory.

Establish eligibility before arranging a certificate visit

Wyoming limits access to recent birth and death records. Its guidance says birth records become public after 100 years and death records after 50 years; during the restricted period the requester must be entitled to the document and may need supporting evidence. A family connection that helps identify an event does not automatically establish access to every certificate. The Vital Records questions explain entitlement and accepted payment methods.

The state service is at the Hathaway Building, 2300 Capitol Avenue, Cheyenne. Public hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday service is by appointment. The state also offers mail and online ordering. Follow the certificate ordering routes rather than treating a County Clerk appointment as a state certificate appointment.

Request a district-court file from its clerk

The Clerk of District Court maintains First Judicial District case records, including divorce, probate and felony matters. Its statement that records date back to 1890 describes office custody, not the beginning of a statewide online database. Give the case number, party names and requested order or pleading when seeking a copy, and ask whether certification is needed for the intended use. The clerk lists Suite 3205 at 309 West 20th Street, telephone 307-633-4270 and weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Use the District Court Clerk's service directory for its case-file and mailing information.

Distinguish circuit court from remote filing systems

Laramie County's circuit-court clerk is a different judicial contact from the district-court clerk. The Judicial Branch lists the circuit court at 309 West 20th Street, Room 2300, with telephone 307-633-4298. For a case in that court, begin with the circuit-court directory. The branch explains that public-access terminals at court locations provide free viewing of public trial-court records, while requested copies can involve a fee. Electronic filing services and Supreme Court access should not be represented as one unrestricted remote search of every local case. Consult the Judicial Branch explanation of public record access.

Prepare a sheriff request for the records window

The Sheriff's Records Section accepts walk-in customers Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed Friday, weekends and holidays. The office is at 1910 Pioneer Avenue, Cheyenne, telephone 307-633-4700. Continuous patrol availability does not establish a continuous records counter. Check the Sheriff's published contact and counter schedule before traveling.

For a private citizen's records request, the Sheriff asks for a signed, notarized written request with identifying case details. Its processing estimates are specific to that service, rather than a universal public-record response deadline. Fingerprint collection also has a distinct cutoff: Monday through Thursday through 4:30 p.m., at $5 per card, cash only. The records-service instructions explain the request contents and fingerprint service.

Distinguish fingerprint collection from the DCI search

A fingerprint card collected by local law enforcement is a submission component, not the completed state criminal-history result. Wyoming DCI lists $15 for most Wyoming and Western Identification Network applicant checks. An additional FBI check is available through DCI only when state law permits it and FBI approval applies; the agency describes the separate charge and a direct FBI route when DCI lacks authority. Provide the correct destination for the result and use the applicable applicant category. The DCI applicant instructions explain the search, authorization and fingerprint requirements.

Request records from the originating office

The county Records Center manages county records internally and expressly says it does not provide them directly to the public. Its routing list points deed requests to recording, court cases to court clerks and vital certificates to the state service. This distinction prevents a broad request to the storage unit from being mistaken for a request to the public custodian. Use the Records Center routing guide to identify the originating department. For a county administrative request, the designated public-record contact and form are published through the county public-information request procedure. Describe the existing material, date range and department when preparing that request.
