Wyoming notary public
Exam requiredWhat it takes to become a notary public in Wyoming, from the state's official commissioning authority.
- Written exam
- Exam required
- Administered by
- Wyoming Secretary of State (self-help test/state-administered, included with application)
- Commission term
- 6 — Wyoming notary commissions are valid for six years (the exam requirement itself, 20-question/70% effective July 1, 2021, held up) years
- Surety bond
- none
- Notes
- WY eliminated the surety bond and county oath filing requirement effective July 1, 2021. Requires a Notary Education Presentation plus a scored exam (70%+) as part of the application, per changes effective 7/1/2021. Sources conflicted on commission term length (4 vs 6 years cited in different places) — flagged as low confidence pending direct statute check on sos.wyo.gov.
Some Wyoming details were ambiguous on the official site when we researched this (July 2026) — double-check specifics with the commissioning authority before you rely on them.
