If you wish to have a circuit court judge or magistrate perform your civil ceremony, contact Circuit Court at 307-633-4298 to get information on fees and appointments. Ceremonies are not performed after 3:30 pm and you must have two witnesses.
We do not require documentation about an officiant's credentials; however, they must qualify by statute:
W.S. 20-1-106. Who may solemnize marriage; form of ceremony.

(b) In the solemnization of marriage no particular form is required, except that the parties shall solemnly declare in the presence of the person performing the ceremony and at least two (2) attending witnesses (of the age of majority) that they take each other as husband and wife.
