Court portal, certified copy fees, and expungement laws for Wyoming
In Wyoming, an eviction (forcible entry and detainer) case lives in the county Circuit Court where the rental property sits, and how reachable that record is depends entirely on which county you are dealing with. There is no statewide eviction-records portal in Wyoming — you cannot type a tenant's name into one site and pull every filing across the state. Instead, each record is held by the county court clerk, and access is handled county-by-county, in person or through whatever local lookup that particular court offers.
The expungement picture is just as important to understand up front: Wyoming has no statutory right to expunge or seal an eviction record. A filing in Circuit Court generally stays on the public docket. That makes both careful searching and careful reading essential — for landlords screening applicants and for tenants trying to understand what a past case still shows. Certified copies of court records run $0.50 per page from the clerk.
Because Wyoming runs no statewide portal, looking up an eviction record means working county-by-county through the Circuit Court clerk for the county where the property is located. Start by identifying the correct county — eviction filings follow the property, not the tenant's current address. Then contact that county's Circuit Court clerk directly to request a name or case search of the forcible entry and detainer docket.
Some clerks can run a search at the counter or by phone; others require a written request. If you need an official, court-stamped version of what you find, ask the clerk for a certified copy, which costs $0.50 per page. If you do not know which county to search, you may have to check more than one clerk's office, since there is no single index that spans the whole state.
The single most important thing to check on any Wyoming Circuit Court eviction record is the disposition — the outcome of the case — not just the fact that a case was filed. A filing is not a judgment. Landlords file eviction actions for many reasons, and a sizable share are dismissed, settled, withdrawn, or decided in the tenant's favor.
When you pull a record, look past the caption and find how the case actually ended: dismissed, judgment for the landlord, judgment for the tenant, or a stipulated agreement. A dismissed or withdrawn case says something very different about an applicant than a money judgment and writ of restitution. Treating every Circuit Court filing as proof the tenant was evicted is both inaccurate and, for screening purposes, risky.
Wyoming has no eviction-record expungement or sealing statute. There is no built-in legal mechanism for a tenant to have a Circuit Court eviction filing automatically removed or hidden, so these records generally remain part of the public docket.
For landlords, that does not mean the record is fair game forever. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs how tenant-screening companies report court records, including time limits on certain reported items and the requirement to maintain reasonable procedures for accuracy. If you use a screening service, rely on a compliant report rather than acting on raw docket entries — and never base a denial on a record you have reason to believe is sealed, expunged, or inaccurate. When you take adverse action based on a report, follow the FCRA's notice steps so the applicant can dispute errors.
For tenants, Wyoming's lack of an expungement law is the hard reality: there is no statutory path to seal or expunge an eviction record simply because time has passed or the case was resolved. The most practical step is to make sure the record is accurate. If a case was dismissed, withdrawn, or decided in your favor, confirm that the Circuit Court clerk's record reflects that disposition correctly, and obtain a certified copy at $0.50 per page to show prospective landlords.
You can also dispute inaccurate or outdated entries that appear on a tenant-screening report directly with the screening company under the FCRA. Because Wyoming has no sealing remedy, documenting a favorable outcome and correcting errors in screening reports is usually the strongest tool a tenant has.
