Within 10 days after the ceremony, the completed license must be returned to the issuing County Clerk’s office.

Birth and death certificates are recorded at the state level by Vital Statistics Services of the Wyoming Department of Health. Call Vital Statistics Services at 307-777-7591 or visit the website at https://health.wyo.gov/admin/vitalstatistics/.

If you wish to have a circuit court judge or magistrate perform your civil ceremony, contact Circuit Court at 307-633-4298 to get information on fees and appointments. Ceremonies are not performed after 3:30 pm and you must have two witnesses.

We do not require documentation about an officiant's credentials; however, they must qualify by statute:

W.S. 20-1-106. Who may solemnize marriage; form of ceremony.

(a) Every district or circuit court judge, district court commissioner, supreme court justice, magistrate and every licensed or ordained minister of the gospel, bishop, priest or rabbi, or other qualified person acting in accordance with the traditions or rites for the solemnization of marriage of any religion, denomination or religious society, may perform the ceremony of marriage in this state.

(b) In the solemnization of marriage no particular form is required, except that the parties shall solemnly declare in the presence of the person performing the ceremony and at least two (2) attending witnesses (of the age of majority) that they take each other as husband and wife.

Payable by cash, check, debit or credit card (convenience fees applicable).

When couples return their completed licenses in person, the first official certificate is issued by our office.
