Introduction: Yellow fever is an arbovirus with two transmission cycles: sylvatic and urban. In Brazil, this is considered a notifiable disease, and communication is mandatory and immediate through the Disease Notification and Notification System. Objective: To analyze the epidemiological variables and completeness of yellow fever notification forms in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Method: This is a descriptive study with data from yellow fever notifications from the Disease and Notification Information System of Mato Grosso do Sul, from 2007 to 2022. Results: A total of 102 notifications of suspected cases were made, with the years with the highest rates of occurrence of notifications, respectively: 2008 (n = 30), 2017 (n = 15), 2018 (n = 15), and 2022 (n = 10). Two cases of yellow fever were confirmed, one in 2008 and another in 2010. Most notifications for suspected and confirmed cases were represented by males. Regarding the completeness of the “occupation” data, none of the municipalities reached completion above 90%; in the variable “signs and symptoms”, only 13 municipalities reached completion above 90%; and in relation to the “epidemiological antecedents”, only four municipalities had more than 90% completion. It should be noted that most of the information regarding suspected and confirmed cases was not filled in. Conclusions: The notification system is incomplete and has little information on suspected and confirmed cases of the disease, that is, it does not reflect the real occurrence and magnitude of this public health problem in the state.
