Wyoming Firearm Bill of Sale Form

Updated September 14, 2023

A Wyoming firearm bill of sale is a legal document that shows proof that a firearm has been sold and legally acquired between two (2) private parties in the State of Wyoming. This document provides information regarding the firearm, change of ownership, the seller, and the buyer. It requires notarization, although there are no restrictions on ownership or use for gun owners. At the very least this would be beneficial for the seller and buyer for record-keeping and would serve as an added layer of security to both parties on various levels.
