TL;DR. Wyoming has adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act. Wyoming’s UIDDA framework is codified at Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 28(c), adopted by Wyoming Supreme Court order on June 22, 2021 and effective September 1, 2021. To domesticate an out-of-state subpoena in Wyoming, an attorney or process server submits the foreign subpoena to the clerk of court in the Wyoming county where discovery is sought to be conducted. The clerk will issue a Wyoming subpoena that incorporates the terms of the original. Service of the local subpoena must comply with Wyoming Rule 45. No Wyoming local counsel is required for routine issuance.

Wyoming is one of the states that have adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act — a fact some outdated legal-services-industry sites still misreport. As of June 2026, 48 jurisdictions (including the District of Columbia) recognize the UIDDA. Three states have not adopted the UIDDA: Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Hampshire. Wyoming joined the UIDDA states by court rule rather than by statute, which is why a search for a Wyoming statute citation returns no result — the authority is procedural, not statutory, but its operational effect is identical.
For California litigators and the litigation paralegals who handle interstate discovery, Wyoming’s UIDDA adoption means the firm’s California case can produce subpoena domestication and service in Wyoming through the standard clerk-issuance process: a foreign subpoena to a clerk in the discovery state, a local subpoena issued by the court, service of process of subpoenas in compliance with Wyoming Rule 45, and — if needed — motions filed in the court in the discovery state under Rule 28(c)(5).

Quick Answer: Wyoming UIDDA Subpoena Domestication
- Is Wyoming a UIDDA state? Yes. Wyoming has adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act through Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 28(c), effective September 1, 2021.
- Authority: Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 28(c), adopted by Wyoming Supreme Court Order dated June 22, 2021. No Wyoming statute codifies the UIDDA in Wyoming.
- Who issues the local subpoena? The clerk of court in the Wyoming county where discovery is to be conducted, on submission of the foreign subpoena.
- Is Wyoming local counsel required to issue a subpoena? No. Submission of the foreign subpoena to a clerk of the court is not an appearance in the courts of this state, per Rule 28(c)(2)(A) WRCP.
- Where to file the foreign subpoena: The clerk of the Wyoming district court in the county in which discovery is sought to be conducted in Wyoming.
- Service rules: Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 45 — per Rule 28(c)(3) WRCP.
- Discovery conduct rules: Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure 30, 31, 34, and 45 — per Rule 28(c)(4) WRCP.
- Motion venue: Wyoming district court for the county in which discovery is being conducted — per Rule 28(c)(5) WRCP.
Common Misconceptions About Wyoming's UIDDA Status
Misconception: “Wyoming is a non-UIDDA state.” Correct: Wyoming has adopted the UIDDA. Several legal-services-industry websites and process-server marketing pages published in 2023 and 2024 continue to list Wyoming as a non-UIDDA holdout. Those sources are factually outdated. Wyoming adopted the UIDDA by Wyoming Supreme Court order effective September 1, 2021, codified at Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 28(c). The confusion arises because Wyoming adopted by court rule rather than by statute, so a search for a Wyoming statutes-annotated section returns no result. The rule carries the force of law in Wyoming courts under the Wyoming Supreme Court’s rule-making authority. As of June 2026, the only states that have not adopted the UIDDA are Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Hampshire.
|
Two related misconceptions worth addressing:
- “Wyoming requires local counsel for UIDDA filings.” Incorrect for routine subpoena issuance. Rule 28(c)(2)(A) WRCP explicitly states that submitting a foreign subpoena to a clerk of court in Wyoming does not constitute an appearance in the courts of this state. Local counsel becomes necessary only if the subpoena is contested and a motion to enforce, quash, or modify is filed in the Wyoming district court.
- “Wyoming’s filing fee for UIDDA is the same statewide.” Incorrect. Wyoming has not standardized a single statewide UIDDA filing fee. Each Wyoming county district court applies its own civil filing fee schedule to UIDDA submissions. Most counties charge in the $30–$60 range as of 2026, but confirm with the destination clerk before submission.
Why You Must Domesticate an Out-of-State Subpoena Before Serving in Wyoming
Does a foreign subpoena have force in Wyoming on its own?
No. A subpoena issued by a court that issued the subpoena in a trial state has no enforceable subpoena power against a Wyoming-located person until a Wyoming clerk of court issues a corresponding local subpoena under Rule 28(c) WRCP. Service of an undomesticated foreign subpoena in Wyoming is unenforceable and may expose counsel to sanctions if the witness objects.
|
Subpoena domestication is required because a court’s subpoena power does not extend across state lines. Before the UIDDA, a party seeking depositions across state lines had to use traditional domestication methods to serve a subpoena — file a miscellaneous action in the discovery state, often retain local counsel for that limited purpose, and obtain a commission from the trial court. The UIDDA replaces those steps with a single clerk submission, so that the court in the discovery state issues a local subpoena that recognizes the trial state’s underlying action.
When UIDDA states recognize the UIDDA, they each apply the same uniform procedure: a foreign subpoena to a clerk in the county where discovery is sought, a local subpoena issued by the court, and service of the local subpoena under that state’s rules. The result is that subpoena domestication nationwide — across all UIDDA jurisdictions — follows substantially the same path, with state-specific variations primarily in filing fee, court structure, and a few state-specific procedural quirks. Wyoming’s UIDDA framework is one of the simplest among UIDDA states because Rule 28(c) tracks the standard ULC model with no significant Wyoming-specific add-ons.
Understanding Wyoming's UIDDA Framework: Rule 28(c) WRCP
When did Wyoming adopt the UIDDA?
Wyoming adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act effective September 1, 2021. The Wyoming Supreme Court’s order dated June 22, 2021, signed by Chief Justice Michael K. Davis, amended Rule 28 of the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure to add subsection (c), incorporating the UIDDA framework into Wyoming’s civil procedure. The court adopted the rule on the recommendation of the Permanent Rules Advisory Committee, Civil Division, and the Board of Judicial Policy and Administration.
|
Why does Wyoming have no UIDDA statute?
Wyoming adopted the UIDDA by court rule rather than by statute. The Wyoming Supreme Court has rule-making authority over civil procedure under Wyo. Const. art. V, § 2 and Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 5-2-114. A duly promulgated Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure carries the force of law in Wyoming courts. Several other UIDDA jurisdictions also adopted by court rule rather than by statute, including a handful of states where the supreme court holds direct authority over discovery practice. For attorneys searching legal databases, the absence of a Wyoming UIDDA statute does not mean the UIDDA was not adopted; the authority is found in the Wyoming Court Rules Volume and online at the Wyoming Judicial Branch’s website (courts.state.wy.us).
|
What does Wyoming Rule 28(c) actually say?
Rule 28(c) WRCP tracks the ULC’s UIDDA model text closely. Its structure:
- Rule 28(c)(1) — Definitions. Defines “foreign jurisdiction” as a state other than Wyoming; “foreign subpoena” as a subpoena issued under authority of a court of record of a foreign jurisdiction; “person” broadly to include individuals, business entities, and government bodies; “state” as a state of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, or any U.S. territory or insular possession; and “subpoena” broadly to include attendance at a deposition, production of documents or electronically stored information, and inspection of premises.
- Rule 28(c)(2) — Issuance of subpoena. To request issuance of a subpoena under this section, a party submits a foreign subpoena to a clerk of court in the county in which discovery is sought to be conducted in Wyoming. Submission is not an appearance in Wyoming courts. The clerk, in accordance with that court’s procedure, shall promptly issue a subpoena for service upon the person to which the foreign subpoena is directed. The local subpoena must incorporate the terms used in the foreign subpoena and must contain or be accompanied by the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all counsel of record in the proceeding and any party not represented by counsel.
- Rule 28(c)(3) — Service of subpoena. A subpoena issued by a clerk of court under this rule must be served in compliance with Wyoming Rule 45.
- Rule 28(c)(4) — Deposition, production, and inspection. Wyoming Rules 30, 31, 34, and 45 apply to subpoenas issued under this rule — establishing that Wyoming law governs the conduct of discovery practice once service is complete.
- Rule 28(c)(5) — Application to court. An application to the court for a protective order or to enforce, quash, or modify a subpoena issued by a clerk of court under this rule must comply with the rules or statutes of this state and be submitted to the court for the county in which discovery is to be conducted.
Subpoena Domestication and Service: How UIDDA States Coordinate Discovery
What is subpoena domestication and service?
Subpoena domestication and service is the process by which a party seeking discovery in one state (the trial state) obtains an enforceable local subpoena from a court in the state where the witness, documents, or premises are located (the discovery state). Under the UIDDA, the trial state’s foreign subpoena is submitted to a clerk in the discovery state; the clerk issues a local subpoena; and the local subpoena is then served on the witness or custodian. The UIDDA collapses the historic multi-step process into a single clerk submission — reducing the time and cost of out-of-state discovery for attorneys litigating across state lines.
|
In states that have adopted the UIDDA, the issue a subpoena for service workflow is short: the trial state attorney, or a vendor authorized to handle the submission, sends the foreign subpoena to a clerk of the court in the discovery state; that clerk will issue a local subpoena; the local subpoena is served on the named recipient in the discovery state under the discovery state’s rules; and any motion practice runs in the discovery state’s court. The UIDDA does not displace the trial state’s case; it only governs the local subpoena’s issuance and enforcement within the discovery state.
States that have not adopted the UIDDA — currently Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Hampshire — still require the traditional pre-UIDDA path: a separate filing in the non-UIDDA state, often with local counsel of record. For attorneys handling out-of-state discovery with witnesses in those three states, the workflow is materially more complex and slower. Wyoming, by contrast, follows the standard UIDDA path and works the way most other UIDDA states do.
Civil Procedure Requirements: Wyoming Rule 45 and Service
How is a subpoena issued by a clerk of court served in Wyoming?
Once a Wyoming clerk will issue a local subpoena under Rule 28(c)(2)(B), the local subpoena must be served in compliance with Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 45. Rule 28(c)(3) WRCP incorporates Rule 45 directly. Service is typically by a person authorized to make service in Wyoming under Rule 45’s requirements: personal delivery to the named recipient, with tender of any required witness fee for personal-appearance subpoenas, and a return of service to the requesting party for filing in the trial state’s case.
|
Three practical considerations for service in Wyoming:
- Geography. Wyoming has 23 counties spread across roughly 98,000 square miles, with a total population under 600,000. Many counties are sparsely populated and far from a population center. Service in counties such as Sublette, Carbon, Sweetwater, Lincoln, or Park can require substantial driving time, and the time-to-served can stretch to several days depending on the witness’s specific location.
- Process server credentialing. Wyoming does not maintain a state-level process-server licensing scheme. Service must be made by a person who meets Rule 45’s qualification requirements, which generally means any competent adult not a party to the action. In practice, attorneys retain local Wyoming process servers, professional service-of-process vendors with Wyoming coverage, or county sheriffs.
- Motion venue. Any motion to enforce, quash, or modify the local subpoena runs in the Wyoming district court for the county where discovery is conducted, not in the trial state — per Rule 28(c)(5) WRCP. Plan for the possibility of a Wyoming local counsel engagement if a motion is anticipated.
Step-by-Step Guide to Domesticate and Serve a Subpoena in Wyoming
The standard UIDDA-domestication workflow in Wyoming follows six steps. Each step builds on the one before it; skipping or compressing a step typically produces a local subpoena that the clerk rejects or that fails on service.
- Issue and finalize the out-of-state subpoena in the trial state. Before approaching Wyoming, ensure the trial-state subpoena is fully issued under that state’s rules — signed by counsel of record or by the court that issued the subpoena, properly captioned, with the deposition or production scope clearly defined. The local subpoena will incorporate the terms of the foreign subpoena verbatim under Rule 28(c)(2)(C)(i); ambiguity in the original propagates to the Wyoming local subpoena.
- Identify the correct Wyoming county. Determine the Wyoming county where the witness resides, or where the documents in Wyoming or premises are located. Rule 28(c)(2)(A) WRCP requires submission to the clerk of court in the county in which discovery is sought to be conducted in this state. If discovery sites span multiple counties, separate clerk filings are required in each county.
- Prepare the foreign subpoena package for submission to the Wyoming clerk. Assemble the foreign subpoena, counsel-of-record information for all parties (names, addresses, telephone numbers, and any party not represented by counsel), and any cover document the destination clerk specifies. The counsel-of-record information is mandatory under Rule 28(c)(2)(C)(ii) and must accompany the submission.
- Submit the foreign subpoena to a clerk of court in Wyoming. Submit to the clerk of the Wyoming district court in the destination county. The clerk will accept the foreign subpoena to a clerk submission, apply the county’s civil filing fee, and queue the matter for issuance.
- Receive the local subpoena issued by the court. Under Rule 28(c)(2)(B) WRCP, the clerk shall promptly issue a subpoena for service upon the person to which the foreign subpoena is directed. The local subpoena incorporates the terms of the foreign subpoena and includes the counsel-of-record information. Once issued, the subpoena to be served is returned to the requesting party for service.
- Serve the local subpoena under Wyoming Rule 45. Engage a person authorized to make service of process of subpoenas in Wyoming. Service must comply with Wyoming Rule 45, including any required witness fee tender for personal-appearance subpoenas. The proof of service is returned to the requesting attorney for filing in the trial state’s case.
Pro tip — from the field. Wyoming clerks of the court vary materially in how quickly they process UIDDA submissions. The rule says “shall promptly issue,” but in practice the timeline varies: high-volume counties (Laramie, Natrona, Sweetwater, Campbell, Albany) typically issue within three to five business days; smaller and more rural counties may take five to ten business days, especially when the civil clerk handles UIDDA filings only intermittently. Calling the destination clerk before sending the package to confirm submission requirements and current filing fee avoids preventable delays for time-sensitive depositions.

Filing Fee and Where to File
How much does Wyoming UIDDA subpoena domestication cost?
Wyoming clerks generally charge a filing fee for UIDDA-domestication submissions; the fee varies by county. As of June 2026, attorneys should plan on a fee in the range of $30 to $60, plus any per-page copying or certification surcharges. Wyoming has not adopted a single statewide UIDDA filing fee — each county applies its standard civil filing fee schedule to UIDDA submissions. Confirm the current fee with the destination county district court clerk before submission.
|
The absence of a uniform statewide fee is a small operational quirk of Wyoming’s rule-based UIDDA adoption: states that adopted the UIDDA by statute often included a specific fee schedule in the enacting legislation, but Wyoming Rule 28(c) is silent on filing fees. Each Wyoming district court applies its existing civil-filing fee schedule to UIDDA submissions.

Subpoena Types Allowed Under Rule 28(c)
What kinds of subpoenas can be domesticated under Wyoming Rule 28(c)?
Rule 28(c)(1)(E) WRCP defines “subpoena” broadly. Any document issued under the authority of a court of record requiring a person to attend and give testimony at a deposition, to produce designated books, documents, records, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to permit inspection of premises under the person’s control may be domesticated under Wyoming’s UIDDA framework. All three categories of UIDDA-eligible subpoenas are available in Wyoming.
|
- Deposition subpoenas. Compel a Wyoming-located witness to appear and give testimony at a deposition. The most common use of UIDDA in commercial litigation, family law, probate, and employment matters where a non-party witness’s testimony is required.
- Document and ESI production subpoenas. Compel a custodian of records to produce designated books, documents, records, electronically stored information, or tangible things. Frequently used to obtain documents in Wyoming related to employment, financial records, healthcare records (subject to HIPAA), corporate records, and other categories of business documentation.
- Premises inspection subpoenas. Compel the person in control of premises to permit inspection of premises under the person’s control. Used in construction defect, premises liability, environmental, and real estate matters where the physical condition of a Wyoming property is in dispute.

| Yes. Wyoming has adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act by Wyoming Supreme Court Order dated June 22, 2021, effective September 1, 2021. The Act is codified at Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 28(c). Some legal-services-industry directories continue to list Wyoming as a non-UIDDA holdout because they search for a Wyoming statute citation, but Wyoming adopted by court rule rather than by statute. As of June 2026, the three remaining UIDDA holdouts are Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Hampshire. |
| No, for routine issuance. Rule 28(c)(2)(A) WRCP states that submitting a foreign subpoena to a clerk of court in Wyoming does not constitute an appearance in the courts of this state. Out-of-state counsel can submit the foreign subpoena, receive the local subpoena, and arrange service without retaining Wyoming local counsel. Local counsel typically becomes necessary only if litigation arises around the subpoena — for example, a motion to quash that requires representation in a Wyoming district court. |
| Per Rule 28(c)(5) WRCP, an application for a protective order or motion to enforce, quash, or modify a subpoena issued by a clerk of court under this rule must comply with the rules or statutes of this state and be submitted to the court for the county in which discovery is to be conducted. Motions cannot be filed in the trial state’s court — they must be filed in Wyoming, in the Wyoming district court for the county where discovery is being conducted. |
| Rule 28(c)(2)(B) WRCP requires the clerk to issue the local subpoena “promptly” upon receipt of a complete submission. In practice, processing time varies by county: high-volume Wyoming counties such as Laramie, Natrona, Sweetwater, and Campbell typically issue within three to five business days; smaller and more rural counties may take five to ten business days, particularly when the civil clerk handles UIDDA filings only intermittently. For time-sensitive matters, contacting the destination clerk in advance is recommended. |
| Yes. Rule 28(c)(1)(E)(ii) WRCP expressly includes electronically stored information within the scope of subpoenas eligible for domestication. A Wyoming subpoena issued by a clerk of court can compel production of ESI, documents, records, and tangible things in the recipient’s possession, custody, or control. Wyoming Rule 45’s standard ESI-production mechanics then apply to the discovery practice. ESI subpoenas often pair with companion subpoenas to other UIDDA states when a corporate party has document custodians in multiple jurisdictions — each jurisdiction’s clerk will issue a separate local subpoena. |
| Separate clerk submissions are required for each Wyoming county where discovery is sought because Rule 28(c)(2)(A) WRCP ties the issuing clerk’s authority to the county where discovery occurs. If the witness moves between counties before service, the served local subpoena may still be valid if served in the county that issued it. If service must occur in a different county than the one that issued the subpoena, a separate UIDDA submission to that county’s clerk may be required. Countrywide Process coordinates multi-county Wyoming workflows in a single intake. |
| Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 45 governs witness fee requirements for subpoenas served under Rule 28(c). For personal-appearance subpoenas (deposition testimony, trial testimony), counsel should tender the applicable witness fee at the time of service per Rule 45’s requirements. Records-only subpoenas to custodians of records have different fee mechanics. Confirm the current fee amount and any mileage provisions with the Wyoming clerk or with Countrywide Process before service. |
| Before Wyoming adopted the UIDDA in 2021, a party seeking discovery from a Wyoming-located witness had to use traditional domestication methods to serve a subpoena — file a miscellaneous Wyoming action, often retain Wyoming local counsel, and obtain a commission from the Wyoming district court. The UIDDA collapses those steps into a single clerk submission. The result is significantly faster (days instead of weeks), substantially cheaper (no local counsel for routine matters), and procedurally aligned with other UIDDA jurisdictions — making subpoena domestication and service consistent across the United States for the 48 jurisdictions that have adopted the UIDDA. |
| Yes — specifically, Wyoming’s UIDDA framework governs the issuance of an enforceable subpoena in Wyoming based on a foreign subpoena from another state, and the subsequent service of that locally-issued subpoena under Wyoming Rule 45. The framework does not extend to depositions across state lines conducted entirely outside Wyoming; it covers the specific case where the trial is in one state but the witness, custodian, or premises is in Wyoming. For depositions or document productions seeking discovery from a Wyoming-located person, Wyoming Rule 28(c) is the correct authority. |
