Wyoming Inmate Search
Wyoming Inmate records are official documents that contain information about persons incarcerated in correctional facilities. This includes state prisons, conservation and boot camps, and county and city jails. Typically, the data held in these records include:
- The inmate’s full name and nicknames
- Registration number
- Conviction information
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Mugshots
- Booking information such as time and location
- Potential release date
- Bail/bond conditions
Under the Wyoming Public Records Act, members of the public may access public information on inmates held in prisons and jails in the state. The Wyoming Department of Corrections is the single repository for inmate records incarcerated in state-owned facilities. The WDOC provides access to these records via an inmate search tool on its website. However, the WDOC occasionally seals inmate records or restricts access to records in response to a court order.
Inmate records for persons in county or city jails are held and provided by the sheriff’s office or police department supervising such local facilities. Generally, sheriff’s offices across Wyoming offer inmate lookup services on their websites.
How To Find An Inmate In Wyoming?
To locate information about inmates currently incarcerated under the Wyoming Department of Corrections’ (WDOC) jurisdiction, requesters may use the Offender Locator tool available on the WDOC website. Alternatively, call the Wyoming Department of Corrections Central Office on (307) 777–7208.
The search tool allows requesters to search the database using the following information:
- WDOC Inmate number
- First and last name
- Age
- Gender.
The information on the database may include prison location and parole eligibility. Contact the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for inmate records of minors.
For inmates incarcerated in county or city jail, requesters are advised to contact the local sheriff’s office or the jail administrator for the inmate records. Most local jail administrators provide inmate information on their website for each public access. For example, requestors may find inmate records for persons incarcerated in Lincoln, Converse, and Natrona counties on the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department, Converse County Sheriff’s Department, and Natrona County Sheriff’s Department websites, respectively.
How To Find A Federal Inmate In Wyoming?
Interested persons may use the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) online portal to locate an inmate in a federal facility within Wyoming. Users have the option to search the database using the inmate’s name and biodata, such as their gender, age, and race. Alternatively, users may search via the portal using an inmate’s registration number. Applicable registration numbers are:
- Bureau of Prison Registration number,
- D.C. Department of Corrections number,
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation number,
- The Immigration and Naturalization Services number
Generally, the BOP’s inmate management system does not hold information on individuals incarcerated before 1982. Records older than 1982 are maintained and provided by the National Archives Records Administration (NARA).
Requesters may obtain older records from NARA by requesting via its contact page. Alternatively, inquirers may opt to send a written request by mail to the NARA. Ensure that the request contains all available information about the records sought, including the inmate’s full name, charge details, sentencing details, and other information. Send the request to:
The National Archives and Records Administration
8601 Adelphi Road
College Park, MD 20740–6001
Note: Archives may not contain inmate information for all years before 1982. Below are details for federal prisons and the years available for each one:
- Fort Smith, Arkansas (1866 - 1900)
- Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, California (1934 - 1963)
- United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas (1895—1931)
- Atlanta Federal Penitentiary (1902—1921)
- McNeil Island, Washington.
How Do I Find Inmate Records In Wyoming?
Persons interested in securing a Wyoming inmate record may print a copy of the information provided on the result page of the Wyoming Department of Corrections offender locator tool or by calling the WDOC central office on (307) 777–7208. The web result page offers basic information on the inmate under question. However, this printed copy may not suffice for legal representation as it is not a certified copy.
Under its public records policy, the WDOC provides interested persons with certified copies of inmate records upon request. To obtain this record, requesters make public records request on the WDOC website. Alternatively, send a written request to:
Dan Shannon

Note: The WDOC releasable information is limited to

- Photograph and physical description;
- Any conviction for which the individual was committed to supervision or custody of the WDOC;
- Projected parole eligibility, release and discharge dates;
- Current location of the individual’s supervision or custody;
- Date of release from supervision or custody.
Similarly, requestors may contact the administrator of any county or city jail in Wyoming to obtain an official copy of an inmate record. For example, inmate records for persons held at the Lincoln County Jail may be obtained by filling the request form on the website. Alternatively, call 307–877–2152(Kemmerer) or 307–885–4940 (Afton).
Records that are considered public may be accessible from some third-party websites. Operating independently of any federal, state or local agency, such websites may simplify the search process as they are not limited by geographic location. In addition, third-party sites typically have search engines that can be used for filtering specific or multiple record(s). To use third-party or government websites, interested parties may need to provide:
- The name of the person involved in the record, unless said person is a juvenile
- The location or assumed location of the record or person involved. This includes information such as the city, county, or state that the person resides in or was accused in
However, third-party sites are independent of government sources and are not sponsored by these government agencies. Because of this, record availability cannot be guaranteed.
