The official online lookup
Wyoming has no statewide public warrant search or public online case-search portal that shows warrant status; the Wyoming Judicial Branch (wyocourts.gov) provides e-filing but no public case-status search, and warrant data in the state's law-enforcement systems is restricted to law enforcement.
However, some county sheriffs publish official, public online active-warrant lists.
Natrona County (Casper) operates a name-searchable active-warrant database at warrants.natronacounty-wy.gov covering warrants issued by the 7th Judicial District Court and Circuit Court, updated on weekdays.
Teton County (Jackson) posts a downloadable active-warrant list at tetonsheriff.org/173/Warrants.
Coverage is county-by-county and is not comprehensive; a county without a published list must be checked by contacting the issuing court clerk or the county sheriff.
Online lists reflect their last-updated time and may not show a warrant's current status, so confirm active status with the issuing court or the county sheriff.
How to find out if you have a warrant in Wyoming
Warrants are issued by courts and served by sheriffs — so the surest way to confirm one is to ask the source directly. Work down this list.

Call/visit the Clerk of District or Circuit Court in the county where the matter is pending
Felony cases and their warrants run through the district court; misdemeanor and traffic matters run through the circuit court. Ask the clerk whether there is an active warrant or a missed court date. Locate the county's courts through the Wyoming Judicial Branch 'Find a Court' directory.

Contact the county Sheriff's Office records/warrants division
County sheriffs hold and serve warrants and can confirm whether one is active. Contact the sheriff's office in the county where the case is pending; some sheriffs also post a most-wanted or active-warrant list, though coverage is limited and inconsistent across counties.

Request your own criminal-history record from the Wyoming DCI Criminal Records Unit
The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Criminal Records Unit processes fingerprint-based criminal background checks for a fee. This is a criminal-history record request, not a live warrant lookup, but it is the state-level records channel.

Types of warrants in Wyoming
Not every warrant means the same thing. These are the common types.
- Bench warrant / failure-to-appear warrant issued by a judge when a required court appearance or payment is missed
- Arrest warrant issued on a finding of probable cause that a person committed an offense
- Search warrant authorizing a search of a place or property
- not directed at arresting a person
What happens if a warrant is ignored
An outstanding warrant generally stays active until the court resolves it and does not expire on its own.
While it is active, a person can be taken into custody at any law-enforcement contact, such as a traffic stop.
A failure-to-appear bench warrant can lead to being held for a court appearance, and depending on the case may bring additional charges or, for traffic-related matters, license consequences.
Outcomes depend on the specific case and court.
What you can do
Procedural steps only — no outcome is predicted.
Confirm whether a warrant exists by checking a county sheriff's online active-warrant list where one is published, or by contacting the issuing district or circuit court clerk or the county sheriff.
Ask what the warrant is for and whether a court date is set.
Bring identification and any case number when you make contact.
Your rights. You have the right to talk to a lawyer about your situation, and if you cannot afford one, you can ask the court about a public defender.
