What Is the Wyoming Notary Public Bond (Optional)?

Wyoming dropped its notary bond rule. A bond is not needed to get your commission.

You can still add one for protection. A bond covers the public if you make a mistake. An errors and omissions (E&O) policy covers you instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a notary bond in Wyoming?

No. Wyoming dropped the requirement in 2021. You can still buy an optional bond or E&O policy if you want extra protection.

Does the Wyoming notary bond protect me?

No. The bond protects the public, not you. If the surety pays a claim, you owe that money back. To protect yourself, add an errors and omissions (E&O) policy.

How fast can I get my Wyoming notary bond?

Most people are approved right away. You can have your bond the same day, often in minutes.

How much does a Wyoming notary bond cost?

The price is fixed with no credit check. You pay a small fee for the whole term — not the full bond amount.

How a Surety Bond Works

A notary bond is a type of surety bond. The picture below shows the three parties and what happens if someone files a claim.

Diagram of how a surety bond works: the obligee requires the bond, the principal applies and signs an indemnity agreement, and the surety issues the bond; if the principal fails, the obligee files a claim, the surety investigates and may pay, and the principal reimburses the surety.
