To expunge a record in Wyoming, the process depends on the type of conviction. Under W.S. §7-13-1501, certain misdemeanor convictions can be expunged 5 years after sentence completion; some felonies under W.S. §7-13-1502 require 10 years. File a Petition for Expungement in the District Court where the case was heard, with a $100 filing fee plus a $50 fee to the prosecutor for review. The Wyoming Attorney General's office at https://ag.wyo.gov/ provides forms and guidance. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation must also be notified. After expungement, the record is sealed from public view but remains accessible to law enforcement.
