Wyoming Marriage Records

For genealogical researchers, marriage records are very valuable because they provide important information that is sometimes not available any other way. Luckily, marriage licenses are usually on file with the Vital Records Department of the state in which they were issued and are considered public records. In Wyoming, finding marriage records is as easy as knowing a little bit about the vital records process.

The most important thing to know is that every state started recording marriages at a different time, so a record that is easily available in one state may be significantly harder to find in another. It just depends on when the record was made. In Wyoming, marriages were not recorded until May 1941, so if the union you are interested in happened before this time, you may need to contact the individual county. Within the first 50 years after a marriage license is filed, it is only available to the couple who are named on the license and their immediate families, but after this time, anyone can request a copy.

With a little bit of knowledge, you can make searching for Wyoming marriage records much easier.

Wyoming marriage certificates and information is available at the state office for a fee of $13.00. You may also request a Wyoming marriage certificate from the county where the marriage license was issued. You can make your request to the County Clerk in the proper county. Fees will vary from one county to another. For more information visit: Wyoming Department of Health
