Finding a birth certificate can be one of the most important steps in any genealogical research project. These records contain information that can help you fill in the dates on your family tree and much more. Luckily, birth certificates are public records, so gaining access to them is both easy and completely legal. That said, however, each state has its own laws regarding vital records. When you need to find a birth certificate in Wyoming, the first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with the state's public record rules.

In Wyoming, birth records become public after one hundred years, and before then, they can be accessed by the family of the person on the form. The state has also been issuing birth certificates since July 1909, which dramatically increases your chances of finding the record you need. After these records become public, all you have to do to request a certified copy is to provide enough information for the record to be found.

You should be able to find information on anyone born in Wyoming after 1909 simply by contacting the vital records board. Knowing how and when you can access public records can help assure a pleasurable and rewarding genealogical search.

Wyoming birth certificates may be obtained from the state office from the year 1909 to the present. There is a fee of $13.00, which you may pay by personal check or money order. The state only provides non-certified copies. If you need a certified copy of a Wyoming birth certificate, you may find out where to get one from the state office.
