The application for a Wyoming marriage license falls under Wyoming Statutes 20-1-101 through 20-1-113.

Licenses are obtained in Wyoming’s County Clerk’s offices and can be used immediately after being issued.  However, they expire one (1) year from the issuance date.  In Fremont County they are issued in the Lander office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and in the Riverton annex from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.  If you have the application completed before coming to our office the process will go much faster.
