Wyoming Genealogy Records

To begin, add a genealogy record or view a list of locations and resources for Wyoming genealogy records.

The Wyoming Department of Health is responsible for maintaining a record of all the births, deaths, marriages and divorces that happen inside the state of Wyoming. Title 35 of the Wyoming state codes states that the department is required to "collect, compile, and tabulate reports of marriages, divorces and annulments, births, deaths and morbidity, and to require any person having information with regard to the same to make such reports". These are the records that are typically used as genealogy records.

Wyoming only issues birth certificates to the registrant and his or her parents or legal representative. Death certificates are only issued to the immediate family members of the decease or their lawyers. Marriage and divorce records are only available to the husband and wife and their lawyers. Wyoming genealogy records are carefully guarded to prevent misuse of the personal information contained in the records. They are not considered public record.
