Who Issues Warrants in Goshen County
In Wyoming an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Goshen County that means the District Court for Goshen County, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Circuit Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Clerk of District Court.

How to Check for a Warrant in Goshen County
The place to check for a warrant from Goshen County is the court file of the case, through the Clerk of District Court at (307) 777-7826, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
Not one of the Goshen County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation is not open to the public in Wyoming, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Goshen County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Goshen County starts with the Clerk of District Court at (307) 777-7826: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the Circuit Court is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Goshen County.
