Our purpose is to calculate the relative proper motions (PMs) and membership probability for the stars in the wide region of globular cluster NGC 3201. PM based membership probabilities are used to isolate the cluster sample from the field stars. The membership catalog will help address the question of chemical inhomogeneity in the cluster. Archive CCD data taken with a wide-field imager (WFI) mounted on the ESO 2.2m telescope are reduced using the high-precision astrometric software developed by Anderson et al. for the WFI images. The epoch gap between the two observational runs is ~14.3 years. To standardize the BVI photometry, Stetson's secondary standard stars are used. The CCD data with an epoch gap of ~14.3 years enables us to decontaminate the cluster stars from field stars efficiently. The median precision of PMs is better than ~0.8mas/yr for stars having V<18mag that increases up to ~1.5mas/yr for stars with 18
