- 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.
