Wyoming video notary vs mobile: remote online notarization is in the July 1, 2021 law; the venue is the state and county where the notary is physically located; a bordering state is allowed if that state recognizes the notary; the Secretary of State commissions the notary for six years; the filing fee is $60; the statute does not require a surety bond and does not print a bond amount; a notarial act is capped at $10; a March 24, 2020 form still says temporary measures; and the notary hub does not name NotaryLive or Proof

This page is a notary scorecard. It is not a mailbox directory. Form 1583 is the Postal Service form you sign so a mailbox store can receive your mail. It appears here because mailbox signup is a common reason a Wyoming owner needs a notary. The form is the use-case. The mailbox store is someone else’s product.

The Wyoming grade that is not a company letter

We grade the state rule first. Remote online notarization (RON) is a video session with a notary. A company cannot turn a regular Wyoming commission into the notice in W.S. 32-3-120. It also cannot treat a company price as if W.S. 32-3-126 were Montana’s listed-act sentence. Neighboring Montana prints $10 for each listed act, and then an extra fee that Montana statute says is not a dollar the law already chose. Wyoming prints $10 per notarial act, and then a technology fee the Wyoming statute says is neither specified nor mandated by law. Same dollar on the act. Different statute.

Two video products, a $60 filing fee, and no bond dollar on the current pages

Mixing the labels into one “is video legal in Wyoming?” checkout is how a Cheyenne owner pays a company price and still has a notary who never sent the notice. The current statute allows the video job. It is not automatic on the day the ordinary commission arrives. The notary hub does not publish a technology-provider roster. The $10 cap is the number on the act. It is not the $60 filing fee, and it is not Montana’s $25 filing fee.

• Remote online notarization is a notarial act by an electronic notarization system, or another form of communication technology, on an electronic record. Communication technology means a live connection where you and the notary can see and hear each other at the same time. W.S. 32-3-111 says this product may be any notarial act. You are not in the same room. The record is electronic.
• Remote ink notarization is a different product. The statute’s own name is remote ink notarization. It is an acknowledgment on a tangible record. You appear by live video. You sign the tangible record and get it to the notary. The education presentation says this product cannot be used for every notarial act. Acknowledgments are the act the statute names. The presentation’s own example uses a Zoom call and then the notary’s mark on the tangible record.
• A notarization in the same room is a third product. The highlights page says remote online notarization and remote ink notarization are options only, and that traditional notarization can still be performed. You and the notary are physically together. A checkout that only makes a video call is not that in-room product.

The July 1, 2021 sentence and the March 24, 2020 form are not the same permission. The current notary hub links the July 1, 2021 law, the current rules, the January 2026 application, and the education presentation. W.S. 32-3-103: the act applies to a notarial act performed on or after July 1, 2021. The highlights page: both remote online notarization and remote ink notarization will be permanently allowed in Wyoming effective July 1, 2021. The education presentation: Wyoming law allows remote notarizations to be performed. The January 2026 application, revised that month, asks the applicant to check “I intend to perform remote notarizations” and to list the platform or other communication technology. A separate form still posted on the same office’s site is titled “INTENT TO PERFORM TEMPORARY REMOTE ONLINE NOTARIZATION IN WYOMING” and dated March 24, 2020. Its own certification says the notary will perform remote online notarization only while temporary measures are in effect, and it points to guidance issued March 24, 2020. The current hub does not link that form. The form is still on the office’s site. This page prints both. It does not choose which document a clerk will follow.

The ordinary commission comes first. W.S. 32-3-120: the applicant is at least 18, a citizen or permanent legal resident of the United States or otherwise lawfully present, and meets one of these ties to Wyoming: residence; a place of employment or practice in this state; or spouse or legal dependent of military personnel on active duty in this state. The applicant must pass the exam in W.S. 32-3-121 and not be disqualified under W.S. 32-3-122. The Secretary of State issues a commission for a six-year term. A person may not hold two Wyoming commissions at once. The January 2026 application prints the same six-year term. The education presentation prints the same six-year term. The highlights page says the term will change from 4 years to 6 years. That sentence describes the change. The current statute, the application, and the presentation print six years. Exam question 1 prints “A Wyoming notary public commission term is valid for six years” and asks for true or false. It does not print the answer on that line. The current pages agree on six years.

The $60 is the filing fee, and the statute prints that dollar. W.S. 32-3-120: the applicant pays a filing fee of sixty dollars ($60.00), with the application, the oath, and certification that the exam and the education are done. The January 2026 application: include a filing fee of $60, by check or money order payable to the Wyoming Secretary of State. Credit cards are not accepted. The education presentation: submit the application with the examination and a $60 fee. The highlights page says the fee will change from $30 to $60. That sentence describes the change. The current statute, the application, and the presentation print $60. They print the same dollar. The application also says a hard copy of the form must be delivered or mailed. The office emails the appointment letter and the certificate of commission when processing is done. The applicant may ask for a hard copy at the mailing address instead.

The bond is optional, and no current page prints a dollar for it. W.S. 32-3-123 says nothing in the act denies a notarial officer the right to obtain an assurance in the form of a surety bond, or errors and omissions insurance, on a voluntary basis. It does not print an amount. The education presentation: there is no statutory obligation regarding bonding or insurance for a Wyoming notary public. A bond or errors and omissions insurance is optional. Those will not be filed with the county or the state. The January 2026 application prints the same optional sentence. The highlights page says the new law does not require a notary bond, that a notary may still obtain a bond or errors and omissions insurance, and that the bond or insurance will not be filed with the county clerk. Exam question 4 prints “A bond is required for all new and renewing notary public commissions” and asks for true or false. It does not print the answer on that line. None of these pages print a bond amount. We will not invent a bond amount. The current code marks W.S. 32-1-101 through 32-1-114 repealed by Laws 2021, ch. 27, § 3. Those repealed lines do not print a dollar either. A statutes index page still names W.S. 32-1-101 through 32-1-114 and the older uniform law at W.S. 34-26-101 through 34-26-109. The notary hub links the Chapter 3 PDF instead. This page prints both lists. It does not choose which list to open first. A surety bond is not the price of your session, and it is not the $60 filing fee. Neighboring Montana’s commission statute prints $25,000, and one Montana rules page still prints $10,000. Those are Montana numbers.

The exam is required, and the passing line is printed. W.S. 32-3-121: a new or renewing applicant must pass an examination based on a course that covers the laws, rules, procedures, and ethics of notarial acts. The Secretary of State or an approved entity offers the course. For a commission filed on or after July 1, 2021, the applicant also completes the education the Secretary of State requires. The section says the Secretary of State may collect reasonable fees commensurate with the cost of education and examination. It does not print a dollar for that class. We will not invent one. The notary hub, citing W.S. 32-3-121, names two entities approved to administer the education and the exam: the National Notary Association and the Notary Public Association. That list is the education list. It is not a list of video platforms. The education presentation says a passing score is 70 percent, which is at least 14 questions correct, and that the presentation has the answers. The January 2026 application says at least fourteen correct answers are required, and it prints 20 true-or-false questions. Fourteen of twenty is 70 percent. The presentation and the application print the same passing line. The current rules say a notary reviews the education presentation for every term and certifies that on the application.

The remote gate sits on top of the commission. W.S. 32-3-120: before the first notarial act on an electronic record, or for a remotely located person, the notary notifies the Secretary of State and identifies the electronic notarization systems or other forms of communication technology the notary intends to use. The education presentation says the notary indicates that intent on the application or by email to notaries@wyo.gov. The January 2026 application asks for the platform or other communication technology on that same form. A regular commission, with no notice, is still a room job.

The hub does not name a video-platform roster, and both company names on this site are absent from it. The notary hub’s own links are the current law, the current rules, the application with the exam, the education presentation, the name-change form, journal examples, the page titled “Stamp/Seal Requirements and Sample,” and sample notarial certificates. The education list names the National Notary Association and the Notary Public Association. The education presentation says a remote online notarization can use a platform that requires multifactor authentication and has other security features, or another form of communication technology. It does not name NotaryLive or Proof. The current rules say nothing prevents a person from requiring a specific electronic notarization system rather than another form of communication technology. They do not name a vendor. The March 24, 2020 form asks for the name of a remote online notarization software provider “as Approved by Contiguous States.” It does not print NotaryLive or Proof. Montana’s technology page names both companies on an example list. That is a Montana list. Proof and NotaryLive are companies on this site. A checkout that shows either name is the company’s screen. It is not a statement that this Wyoming notary named that technology on a notice the Secretary of State already has.

Read the fee sentences before you treat a company price as Wyoming law. W.S. 32-3-126: a notarial officer may charge not more than ten dollars ($10.00) per notarial act. If more than one person appears to complete a notarial act on a single record, the officer may charge not more than ten dollars ($10.00) per acknowledgement, signature, oath or affirmation, certification, or note of protest. The officer may also charge a technology fee for an electronic notarization system or other communication technology if you agree on the total first, and if the officer explains that the technology fee is separate from the notarial fee and is neither specified nor mandated by law. A travel fee must be equal to or less than the standard mileage rates allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, agreed before the travel, and explained as separate from the notarial fee and neither specified nor mandated by law. The section does not print a cents figure. We will not invent one. Fees may be collected before the act. The education presentation prints $10 per notarial act, an Internal Revenue Service mileage ceiling, and a technology fee the parties must agree to. The highlights page says the fee to charge for a notarial act will change from $5 to $10. That sentence describes the change. Exam question 8 prints “The maximum fee a notary public may charge is $5.00 per notarial act” and asks for true or false. It does not print the answer on that line. The statute and the education presentation print $10. This page prints the exam sentence. It does not turn that question into a second cap. Montana caps a listed notarial act at $10 under section 1-5-626. That is Montana’s statute. A company sticker near $25 can be the company’s price. It is not the $10 cap, and it is not the $60 filing fee. A name-change notice under W.S. 32-3-127 is a different $10. That $10 is a filing fee to the Secretary of State, not the price of the notarial act. An apostille or certificate of authentication under W.S. 32-3-110 is twenty dollars ($20.00) each, not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) for the same transaction. That is not the act cap either.

Where the notary may sit is W.S. 32-3-104, and the highlights page uses a narrower word. The venue for a notarial act is the state and county where the notarial officer is physically located. The commission authorizes notarial acts in any Wyoming county, or in a bordering state if that border state recognizes the officer’s authority. If the notary performs an allowable notarization in a bordering state, the notary follows Wyoming law. The education presentation prints that same bordering-state sentence, and its own example is a person who lives in Idaho and works in Jackson. The highlights page says “Physical notarizations may be performed in any bordering state if the bordering state recognizes the notary’s authority within that state.” The statute and the presentation say notarial acts. The highlights page says physical notarizations. This page prints both. It does not choose whether a video session in a bordering state is the same sentence. W.S. 32-3-111 is about where you sit. You may be in Wyoming, elsewhere in the United States, or outside the United States if the foreign-state test and the United States-connection test are met. A remote act is considered performed in Wyoming and is governed by Wyoming law, no matter where you sit. Montana’s technology page says the Montana notary must be physically in Montana. That is a Montana sentence.

The ID check has more than one door, and identity proofing is one name in the statute. Identity proofing is a check that you are the person named on the document. W.S. 32-3-102: personal knowledge means familiarity that dispels any reasonable uncertainty that you are who you claim to be. An identification credential is a passport, a driver’s license, or another form of identification issued by a federal, state, or tribal government agency. It may be current, or expired, but not expired for more than three years, and it must be satisfactory to the notary. The current rules add that the credential shall contain a photograph of the principal or the credible witness. A credible witness can also identify you. The education presentation lists a passport, a state ID, a tribal ID, a state driver’s license, and a permanent resident card, and it prints the same three-year expiration limit. If you appear by an electronic notarization system or other communication technology, satisfactory evidence may be two or more different types of technologies, processes, or services. The statute’s examples are a dynamic knowledge-based authentication assessment, a valid public key certificate, identity proofing, and credential analysis, or another means the system or a rule requires. The statute and the rules do not print a question count, a percent correct, a clock, or a retake for that check. The 70 percent figure on the education presentation is the notary’s own commission exam. It is not your identity quiz. Exam question 20 prints “A signer’s form of ID can be accepted if more than 10 years expired” and asks for true or false. The statute prints three years. The exam does not print the answer on that line. If the check cannot finish, a mobile notary or a walk-in is the product that can finish.

The certificate has Wyoming’s short forms, and the seal line is a form label. W.S. 32-3-115 prints short forms for an acknowledgment, a verification on oath or affirmation, witnessing a signature, and certifying a copy. The form’s own label on the seal line is “(Stamp)”. W.S. 32-3-114 says a certificate of remote ink notarization or remote online notarization indicates that the act used an electronic notarization system or other communication technology. The current rules say the certificate includes the name of that system or technology. The statute’s own name for the notary’s mark is “official stamp.” W.S. 32-3-116, for a commission filed on or after July 1, 2021, describes a rectangle about 1 inch by 2 1/2 inches, blue or black ink, a border, and the words “Notary Public” and “State of Wyoming,” plus the commission identification number and “My commission expires.” The county of residence cannot be added. The hub’s own link title is “Stamp/Seal Requirements and Sample.” The application’s oath line is labeled “Notary Seal Here.” We will not add a longer certificate and call it the statute.

The session file is part of the remote act, and the journal is a second record that covers every act. W.S. 32-3-118: if the act uses an electronic notarization system or other communication technology, the notary makes an audiovisual recording of the entire communication and keeps sole possession of it, except for a law-enforcement exam, a court subpoena, or a direction from the Secretary of State. The section does not print a year. We will not invent one. A journal is required for all notarial acts, not only remote ones. It may be on a tangible medium or in an electronic format. The notary keeps the journal and other notarial records in a secure area under the notary’s sole control, and surrenders or destroys them only as authorized by statute, rule, court order, or the Secretary of State. The section does not print a year for the journal either. The education presentation says it is recommended that you retain your journal for your entire term. The term is six years. The presentation’s word is “recommended.” We will not turn that recommendation into a required keep-time, and we will not invent a ten-year clock. Montana’s recording is kept 10 years. That is a Montana number. The current rules say nothing prevents a person from adding journal content or a longer keep-time for the recording. They do not print a year. The rules do say that a lost or stolen journal is reported to notaries@wyo.gov, or by letter to the Compliance Division at the address the rule prints: “122 West 25th Street, Suite 100, Cheyenne, WY, 82002-0020.”

The phone line on the current pages is one number. The January 2026 application, the education presentation, and the highlights page print 307.777.7370 and Notaries@wyo.gov. The application header prints Herschler Building East, 122 W 25th St, Ste 100, Cheyenne, WY 82002-0020. The notary hub prints the same building, Suites 100 and 101, and office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MST, Monday through Friday, except official state holidays. The March 24, 2020 form prints the same phone and the same email.

What actually needs a notary on a Wyoming LLC / bank stack

A Wyoming limited liability company is formed by signing and delivering articles of organization to the Secretary of State. W.S. 17-29-201: one or more persons may form the company by signing and delivering the articles. The company exists when the articles become effective, unless a delayed date is specified. The section does not require a notary acknowledgment. The articles state the name and, in the statute’s own words, the “street address” of the initial registered office, plus the registered agent’s name. The articles are accompanied by the registered agent’s written consent. W.S. 17-29-210 prints one hundred dollars ($100.00) for filing the original articles of organization, and sixty dollars ($60.00) for an amendment. W.S. 17-29-209 prints the annual license fee as sixty dollars ($60.00) or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($.0002), whichever is greater. The articles form prints a filing fee of $100.00. The business fee schedule prints $100.00 for articles of organization. The statute, the form, and the fee schedule print the same articles dollar. People still show up asking for a notary because a bank, a processor, a landlord, or a mailbox asked for a sworn statement on a different document that sits next to the articles.

This page does not publish a bank-by-bank or county-by-county “accepts video” list. If you need the operating address so a bank will open the account, that is a different product. It is not this site’s directory.

Open all night versus booked, in this state

Because in-state remote online notarization is in the current statute, all-night service is a real option for many Wyoming documents, if the receiving desk will take a remote act and if the notary actually sent the notice and named the technology. A Wyoming remote notary or a notary licensed in another video-notary state can both close that session when the desk accepts it. The March 24, 2020 form is still on the office’s site. This page does not choose whether a desk will follow that form or the July 1, 2021 law. Company availability letters live on the directory, once.

If the desk wants you and the notary in the same room, the identity check fails, or the person you hired never finished the notice, you are shopping store hours or a booked house call. That is the B on walk-in / mobile. Counters keep store hours. The notarial act is capped at $10. Travel and the technology extra are amounts you agree to first. The trip is booked. It is not a failure of W.S. 32-3-120.

Wyoming prints a $10 maximum on a notarial act. It does not print a dollar for the extra technology fee. The consumer starting prices we cite on company cards, about $25 a session, are still the company pages as of August 2026. Those are company stickers. A sticker at $25 is not the $10 cap. It is also not the $60 filing fee, and it is not a bond. Montana’s listed-act cap is also $10, under a different statute, plus an extra Montana says is not determined by law. Wyoming’s extra technology fee is a separate sentence, and the Wyoming statute says it is neither specified nor mandated by law.

Company letters live on the directory

Availability, identity check, and session-record letters for Proof/Notarize, NotaryLive, OneNotary, BlueNotary, mobile, and walk-in are on the directory, once. This page keeps the Wyoming rule and the document table. Official starting prices we cite: NotaryLive about $25 per session; Proof/Notarize about $25 for the first notarization and $15 for each extra notarization; OneNotary online about $25 and mobile from about $80. We do not print a session price for BlueNotary. Those stickers are company prices. They are not a statement that the notary on your screen named that technology on a notice. The Wyoming notary hub does not name NotaryLive, Proof, Notarize, OneNotary, or BlueNotary. Montana’s example list names NotaryLive and Proof. That is Montana. Being absent from a Wyoming roster is not the notice W.S. 32-3-120 already requires, and being named on Montana’s list is not that notice either. Independent Wyoming mobiles are not that OneNotary sticker. Counters set their own prices inside the $10 cap and the agreed extra. They do not get a second cap the statute did not print.

Form 1583 as a Wyoming use-case, without becoming a mailbox review

USPS will not let a commercial mailbox (CMRA) hand you mail until PS Form 1583 (June 2024) is complete. Form 1583 is the Postal Service form you sign so that store can receive your mail. You sign in person with the store (or an authorized employee) or with a notary public. The form’s note allows a live video call. A Wyoming signer can use a Wyoming remote notary or an out-of-state remote notary. That is the same idea as Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Other states have their own rules. See Alabama, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, or South Carolina if that is your state. Montana is the neighbor. Montana’s own notaries can do the video job, under a $10 listed-act cap, a four-year commission, a $25 filing fee, and a Montana commission statute that prints a $25,000 bond beside a Montana rules page that still prints $10,000. Those Montana figures stay on the Montana page.

What we will not do here: grade mailbox brands, pick a Cheyenne, Casper, or Jackson storefront, or explain store flags. Those are mailbox questions. The notary question is: did the session match the form (U.S.-licensed notary, two IDs, home address matching the address ID), and will the store accept that session? Details live on Form 1583 notarization.

A sequence that usually wastes less money

1. Read the receiving desk’s current instruction. If they printed “in person,” do not buy a video session to argue with them. Wyoming’s notarial act is capped at $10. Montana’s listed act is capped at $10 under a different statute. They are not the same state.
2. If they accept a remote act, you may use a Wyoming remote notary or a notary licensed in another video-notary state. The Secretary of State is the authority for the commission, the $60 fee, the notice, and the education list. NASS and NNA are the country sources. The company’s live notary pool is the day-of fact. Do not assume every Wyoming notary on a checkout screen already sent the notice. The Wyoming hub does not name NotaryLive or Proof. The notice is still a separate step. The March 24, 2020 form and the July 1, 2021 law are both on the office’s site. This page does not choose which one the desk will follow.
3. Budget the extras from the official page, extra act, extra signer, witness, before you upload a six-signature packet at the $25 sticker. The notarial act is capped at $10. A technology extra still has to be disclosed and agreed first, and the statute does not print that extra as a dollar. A witness fee on a company page is not a person sitting next to you.
4. If the identity check fails, stop treating another quiz as a plan the statute did not write. W.S. 32-3-102 does not print a retake count for identity proofing. The 70 percent rule is the notary’s commission exam. Switch to a mobile notary or a walk-in. NotaryLive’s FAQ describes a Personal Verifier path. That is their product, not a universal escape hatch, and it is not a sentence in W.S. 32-3-111.
5. Keep the session confirmation. The value of a Wyoming remote session in a later dispute is the audio-visual recording W.S. 32-3-118 already requires, and the journal that section already requires for every act. The statute does not print a year for either one. The education presentation recommends keeping the journal for the commission term. The value of a walk-in is the act the desk already said it wanted, at a fee inside the $10 cap, plus any travel amount you already agreed to.
