Additionally, records can be found through the official resources of the Wyoming Judicial Branch, directly at the Clerk of Court's office, or through public terminals installed in the courthouse. Below is a detailed overview of the county's court system, hearing calendars, procedures for obtaining document copies, and current fees.
Laramie Court System & Jurisdictions
Laramie County is part of the 1st Judicial District of Wyoming. There are two main levels of courts here, each handling different categories of cases.
District Court
The District Court of the 1st Judicial District is a court of general jurisdiction. It handles:
- Criminal cases for felonies
- Civil lawsuits over $50,000
- Family cases — divorce, child custody, alimony
- Probate cases (the legal process of settling an estate after death)
- Appeals from Circuit Court
Circuit Court
The Circuit Court handles everyday cases that most people encounter frequently. These include traffic violations, misdemeanors, civil lawsuits for smaller amounts, and requests for protective orders. Small claims lawsuits up to $6,000 are also filed here.
In 2025, new diversion court programs were launched in the county, as reported by the official Wyoming Judicial Branch website.
The Clerk of District Court is an elected county official who maintains court records. You should contact the office for copies of documents or to search for case information.

How to Get a Copy of a Laramie Court Document
You can obtain a court document copy in three ways: in person, by mail, or through an online request (if the document type allows).
Certified vs. Uncertified Copies
An uncertified copy is simply a printout of the document. A certified copy has the clerk's seal and signature and is accepted as official evidence by other institutions, banks, or courts in other states. For most legal purposes, a certified copy is required.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In person: Visit the Clerk of District Court office at the address below. Provide the case number or party names — the clerk will find the document and make a copy.
- By mail: Send a written request specifying the case number, party names, document type, and number of copies. Include a check or money order for the appropriate amount.
- Online: Some documents are available through the LaramieCourt.us portal or the Wyoming Judicial Branch system. Not all record types are open for online viewing — juvenile, adoption, and sealed cases remain closed.
Historical county court records, including criminal cases, may be stored in the Wyoming State Archives. If the case is very old, start your search there.
Criminal History
To obtain an official criminal history report, contact the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI). Public records requests to DCI are submitted to the email address ag.publicrecords@wyo.gov. Information about individuals serving sentences can be checked through the Wyoming Offender Locator by last name or inmate number.
