Death can be a sensitive topic, but for genealogical researchers, it is one of the most important facts of a person's life. Sometimes it becomes necessary to get a copy of someone's death certificate in order to establish some basic dates on your family tree, and depending on what state the person lived and died in, there are different laws that will dictate your search. If you need to find death records in Wyoming, the best thing you can do is familiarize yourself with the vital records department.

The vital records department has been recording all deaths in the state since July 1909 and is required to keep and make certified copies of the form. For the first 50 years after someone passes away, the record is sealed and can only be accessed by family members of the deceased. After this time, death certificates become public records, and anyone who can find the file is entitled to a copy.

The best way to make use of Wyoming public records is to know what they are and how to access them.

Wyoming death certificates and information may be obtained from the state office from the year 1909 to the present. There is a fee of $10.00, 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 death certificate, you may find out where to get one from the state office.
