Wyoming statutes contain a provision for a voluntary record check which enables any person to obtain a criminal record check on themselves and provide that record to any person they designate. This procedure requires the submission of a State of Wyoming applicant fingerprint card with a preprinted waiver signature section on the reverse side. In addition, the applicant must also submit a fee which is also set by statute.
For most applicants, the fee is $15 for the state of Wyoming which includes the Western Identification Network criminal history check.
Most Wyoming criminal history record checks are generally completed within 10 business days depending on monthly volume.
The criminal history check typically consists of a check of criminal arrest and conviction records in the State of Wyoming and the Western Identification Network (WIN).
Wyoming is a member of the Western Identification Network (WIN) which includes 7 other states: Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
The history check includes all reported felonies, high misdemeanors and other specified misdemeanors.
This does not include municipal ordinance violations.
If authorized by state law, the check may include federal records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
An employer can see if an employee has a criminal record if the employee consents through the submission of the required fingerprint card, signing and notarization of the waiver section, and the required fees.
A fingerprint card is required.
Persons can be fingerprinted at the Division of Criminal Investigation, or at a local Wyoming law enforcement agency.
They may also be charged for the fingerprinting service.
