Wyoming Notary Public Bond

The Wyoming $500 Notary Public Bond is an optional surety bond that provides financial protection against errors, omissions, or misconduct by notaries public in Wyoming. As of July 1, 2021, this bond is voluntary and no longer required as a prerequisite to become a notary in the state.

Notaries public who choose to obtain this bond demonstrate their commitment to professional standards and provide additional protection for the public they serve. The bond protects the State of Wyoming and individuals who may suffer financial harm due to a notary's improper notarization, fraud, or failure to follow proper notarial procedures.

This bond provides $500 in coverage and has a six-year term that aligns with Wyoming's notary commission period, which was extended from four years to six years effective July 1, 2021. The bond must be renewed when the notary's commission is renewed to maintain continuous coverage.
