Wyoming Mugshot Removal & Expungement Guide
How mugshot removal, expungement, and record sealing actually work under Wyoming law.
Wyoming's mugshot statute, Wyo. Stat. § 40-12-601, applies to site operators who charge a fee to remove arrest photos. If your case was resolved without conviction (acquittal, dismissal, no charges filed) or later expunged or set aside, and you provide documentation, that operator must remove your photo and personal information from every site it owns or controls, free of charge, within 30 days. Violations are treated as an unlawful practice under the Wyoming Consumer Protection Act, enforceable by the Attorney General.
Wyoming's expungement process is split across several statutes depending on your case type, each with its own waiting period and filing fee.
- Arrests without conviction: 180+ days since arrest or dismissal, no pending charges
- Misdemeanor convictions: 5 years post-sentence (1 year for status offenses); one expungement per lifetime under this section
- Felony convictions: 10 years since completing sentence, probation, and restitution
Confirm your case disposition
Whether your case ended without conviction or was later expunged determines your eligibility under Wyo. Stat. § 40-12-601.
Send a documented removal request
Include court or law-enforcement documentation of your case outcome, since the fee-free removal right is conditional on this.
Confirm removal within 30 days
Non-compliant sites can be reported to the Wyoming Attorney General as an unlawful practice.
Pursue expungement for the underlying record where eligible
This provides the documentation Wyoming's removal law requires, in addition to restricting access to your official record.
We handle removal cases in Wyoming the same way we handle every case: locating every copy of your mugshot online, filing takedown requests within 72 hours, pursuing search-engine de-indexing where publishers won't cooperate, and monitoring afterward for reappearances.

State law affects your legal options, but it doesn't determine which website is publishing your mugshot. See our site-by-site removal directory for site-specific removal steps once you know where your listing is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wyoming law require mugshot sites to remove my photo?
If the site charges a removal fee, yes — once your case was resolved without conviction or expunged, and you provide documentation, the site must remove your photo within 30 days at no cost.
What if the mugshot site never charged a removal fee?
Wyo. Stat. § 40-12-601 specifically targets fee-charging sites. For sites that don't charge, we pursue direct takedown requests and search-engine de-indexing instead.
How long do I have to wait to expunge a felony in Wyoming?
10 years since completing your sentence, probation, and restitution, with no prior or subsequent felony and no firearm use.
How long does mugshot removal take in Wyoming?
By law, up to 30 days for a qualifying request to a fee-charging site. We also pursue search-engine de-indexing in parallel so the result stops showing in search sooner.
