Remote online notarization
- Status
Remote online notarization is permitted here.
- Legal basis
Wyoming Revised Uniform Notarial Act, Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-101 et seq.; remote notarization provisions effective July 1, 2021
- In force since
July 1, 2021
- What the notary must register
Yes (notification model) — before performing remote notarial acts, "a notary public shall notify the secretary of state that the notary public will perform notarial acts with respect to … a remotely located person and identify the electronic notarization systems" (WS 32-3-120(g)); no separate remote registration fee (notary application/renewal fee $60)
- How the signer is identified
WS 32-3-102(a)(xxxi)(B): personal knowledge; credible witness; or at least two different technologies/processes from: dynamic KBA, credential analysis, identity proofing (facial recognition, voice analysis, or fingerprint biometrics), or valid public key certificate
- Fee caps
Standard notarial act: $10.00 USD
No maximum fee is recorded here for a remote act. A missing cap is not the same as “no cap” — the reason is in the notes below.
- From the source
Max RON fee: $10.00 notarial fee per act (same cap as in-person) PLUS a separate technology fee permitted with no set amount, if agreed in advance and disclosed as "neither specified nor mandated by law" (WS 32-3-126(b)(iii)) — no single all-in cap, so maxRonFeeCents is omitted. Max standard fee: "Not more than ten dollars ($10.00) per notarial act"; $10.00 per acknowledgment/signature/oath/certification/protest when multiple persons appear on a single record (WS 32-3-126(b)(i)-(ii)); travel fee allowed up to IRS standard mileage rate, agreed in advance and disclosed (WS 32-3-126(b)(iv)). Technology and travel fees must be agreed before the act and disclosed as separate from the notarial fee
