Apostille in Wyoming

Verified as of

Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page carries an unverified marker — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

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
