How to Search Wyoming Wants & Warrants (Start Here)

Active warrants in Wyoming are maintained by law enforcement at state, county, and local levels. There is no single database of all warrants in Wyoming.

What this page covers: Wyoming state warrant databases, most-wanted lists, and county-level warrant search tools where available. What it does not cover: Federal warrants (those are handled by the U.S. Marshals and FBI).

Where to start: Check the state law enforcement agency first for statewide warrant searches. For county-level warrants, contact the county sheriff. Many county sheriffs post active warrant lists on their websites.

Common mistake: Most-wanted lists only show high-priority fugitives. If you need to check whether someone has any active warrant, a most-wanted list is not enough — contact the county sheriff or clerk of court directly.

Five Things People Get Wrong About Wyoming Wants & Warrants

❌ Myth: "No warrant online = no warrant exists."
✓ Truth: False. Many Wyoming counties never publish active warrants online. Call the sheriff or court clerk to confirm.
❌ Myth: "NCIC is searchable by the public."
✓ Truth: False. NCIC is law-enforcement only. The public cannot directly search the national crime index.
❌ Myth: "FBI Most Wanted = all federal fugitives."
✓ Truth: False. The Ten Most Wanted is symbolic. Thousands of federal fugitives exist; many never appear publicly.
❌ Myth: "Sealed warrants are deleted."
✓ Truth: False. Sealed warrants still exist — they just don't appear in public search. Law enforcement can still see them.
❌ Myth: "Private warrant lookup sites are official."
✓ Truth: False. Only Wyoming state and county .gov sources are authoritative; third-party sites often have stale or incorrect data.
