Laramie County Criminal Court Records
Laramie County, Wyoming has separate district and circuit court clerks. Identify the court on the case notice before requesting a criminal case file or certified outcome.
Start with the court on the criminal papers
For Laramie County, Wyoming, use the District Court or Circuit Court clerk in Cheyenne. The District Clerk keeps First Judicial District files, including criminal felonies, with holdings dating to 1890. Wyoming circuit courts handle misdemeanors and preliminary felony proceedings. A felony may therefore leave paperwork at both levels; identify which stage produced the document you need.
Keep the court name on the citation, charging document or hearing notice. An arrest report, jail entry and court judgment answer different questions. If all you have is an incident number, ask the investigating agency for the corresponding court and case reference rather than treating that number as a district docket number. The county’s general records center is not the filing clerk.
View filings without buying the wrong online service
Wyoming does not currently offer general remote public access to District or Circuit Court filings through its e-filing system. An account intended for filing documents is not a public background-search subscription. Publicly accessible filed documents can instead be viewed free at designated courthouse terminals and at the Wyoming State Law Library. Ask the clerk where the appropriate terminal is and whether the particular file is accessible before traveling.
For an older felony, send the approximate year, names used at the time and any docket reference to the District Clerk. The 1890 holdings date is a starting point for an archival inquiry, not a promise that every page survives or that a restricted file can be inspected. Ask whether the item is in the electronic system, on paper or requires retrieval.
Contact the correct Cheyenne office
The District Clerk is at 309 West 20th Street, Suite 3205, Cheyenne; mail goes to P.O. Box 787, Cheyenne, WY 82003-0787. Call 307-633-4270 or email [email protected]. Published hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. State that the inquiry concerns a criminal file and give the case number before describing the requested document.
For Circuit Court, the court’s 2026 notice lists 309 West 20th Street, Room 2300, Cheyenne, WY 82001-3601, and 307-633-4298. Use that office for its misdemeanor or preliminary-proceeding documents. Requesting a final district judgment from the circuit desk can produce an incomplete answer even when an earlier event appears there.
Separate search fees from copies and certification
The District Clerk’s linked fee schedule lists a $10 record search; copies cost $1 for the first page and $0.50 for each additional page. Certification is listed separately at $0.50, and authentication/exemplification at $5. Identify the document and ask for a total based on its page count and required certification before sending payment. These are District Court charges, not a quoted Circuit Court tariff.
Tell the clerk whether you need inspection, an ordinary copy, a certified final order or an exemplified record for a named recipient. Ask which delivery and payment methods that office accepts. The reviewed county materials do not promise a standard turnaround for criminal-copy requests; explain a deadline and obtain a retrieval estimate, particularly for historical files.
Check the outcome and handle missing or disputed records
A charge, preliminary hearing or bail entry does not establish a conviction. Read the final signed judgment, dismissal or other disposition for the specific count and person. Keep the case number, court, document date and any later amended order together. A search of one clerk’s records cannot establish a statewide or federal criminal-history clearance.
If access is limited, ask which public portions can be supplied and what authority is needed for the withheld material; a terminal does not override confidentiality. If a name, date or outcome appears wrong, identify the exact entry to the filing clerk and provide the supporting order. Changing a court ruling is different from fixing a transcription error and may require a court procedure or legal advice.
