Wyoming Notary Acknowledgment Form

A Wyoming notary acknowledgment form contains a written statement authenticating signatures on other legal documents. To verify a signature, the requesting party must bring their documents to a notary public. Then, the notary confirms their identity and purposes for signing the document.

Upon verification, a notary public can fill out the acknowledgment form with details like their information, the date, and the signer’s name. The notary public should witness the signature and ensure the party is signing without coercion. The notary signs their name and affixes their official stamp to execute the form.

Is Online Notarization Legal in Wyoming?

Yes. Wyoming’s Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts permits online notarization if the form explicitly states that the notary authenticated the signature remotely. The notary should also maintain a journal of all records they authenticate.

Laws: WY Stat §§ 32-3-114 and 32-3-118.

How to Notarize

Step 1 – Locate a Notary

Find notary services at a local (like the Bank of Jackson Hole) or national (like Wells Fargo) bank. You can also try credit unions, shipping stores, or private online notaries like 123notary.com.

Step 2 – Bring Your Document

Complete all fields of your legal document (such as a non-disclosure agreement). Bring payment with you, as notaries in Wyoming can charge up to $10 for their services (WY Stat § 32-3-126).

Step 3 – Present Your ID

Present your ID if the notary doesn’t know you personally. The ID can be a driver’s license, passport, or another form of identification that a state, federal, or tribal government agency issued. It shouldn’t be more than three years expired (WY Stat. § 32-3-102).

Step 4 – Sign the Form

Allow the notary public to review your ID card and confirm your identity. Sign your name on the legal document you presented. If you already signed your name, attest that the signature is yours.

How to Verify a Notary

Wyoming doesn’t have an official notary search tool. However, you can use a private search portal to verify a notary:

1. Navigate to NotaryPublicStamps.com’s search tool.
2. Enter the notary’s name or license number into the search bar. If you don’t have this information, you can conduct a wider search by starting your search with the city, county, state, or ZIP code.
3. View the search results to see if the notary is active.
