Lost Traffic Ticket in Wyoming

Online Traffic Ticket Search

Wyoming doesn’t provide an online traffic ticket search.

Determine Where You Got Your WY Traffic Ticket

Wyoming handles traffic tickets in two different courts: Municipal Courts and Circuit Courts.

Your ticket is with a Municipal Court if a city police officer issued it; if you received the ticket from the sheriff’s department or Highway Patrol, the Circuit Court is handling it.

Contact the WY DOT

Drivers who can’t remember when they received their violations can contact WY DOT.

Sometimes, the DOT can look up current ticket information; when that fails, the representative might be able to search the courts for you.

Contact Your Wyoming Court

Via the Wyoming Judicial Branch website, you can find the contact information, mailing address, and physical address for each Circuit Court in the state. If the court has a website, you’ll find that, too.

Although some Municipal Courts have websites, currently no state page provides a comprehensive list. Please check your local listings for the telephone number for the Municipal Court handling your ticket.

When you contact your court, be sure to ask for:

• The citation number and your complete traffic ticket costs.
• Your hearing date, or the date by which you must pay.
• Whether you have to appear in court. (If you don’t, you might pay your ticket online or by mail.)

Determine How You Will Plead

Once you have your ticket information, you can determine how to plead:

• Guilty or no contest.
• Not guilty.

For some drivers, pleading guilty or no contest means paying the fine (some courts even allow online payments) and dealing with the penalties; however, this can vary depending on the driver’s past violations and the current violation at hand.

Drivers who plead not guilty go to court and fight their charges.
