How to Become a Remote Online Notary in Wyoming (2026)

Overview

Wyoming’s $25 RON endorsement application fee is standard, and processing takes 2-3 weeks. Wyoming commissions are 4-year terms, issued centrally by the Secretary of State. Once authorized with a RON endorsement, Wyoming notaries can serve signers anywhere in the country.

Wyoming RON Framework: The Endorsement Model

Wyoming uses an endorsement structure for RON authorization:

• Your base notary commission is issued by the Wyoming Secretary of State (4-year term)
• The remote online notary endorsement is a separate authorization added to your existing commission
• You must apply for the endorsement after your commission is in place
• The endorsement requires completion of SoS-approved training before application
• An electronic notary seal must be obtained for use during remote sessions

The endorsement approach means that if your commission expires or lapses, your RON endorsement also becomes inactive. When renewing your commission, verify whether the RON endorsement also requires renewal at that time.

Wyoming RON Requirements: Full List

Wyoming’s requirements under the Wyoming RON statutes:

• Active Wyoming notary commission issued by the Secretary of State
• Completion of a state-approved RON training course
• Application for the remote online notary endorsement through the SoS
• Electronic notary seal (required for remote sessions – different from traditional ink seal)
• Use of an SoS-approved RON technology platform
• Two-way real-time audio-visual communication during every remote session
• Identity verification using government-issued ID and/or KBA
• Electronic journal entry required per notarial act
• Audio-visual recording retained per state requirements
• Remote notarial certificate language on all electronic certificates

Wyoming’s Required Training Course

Wyoming requires completion of an SoS-approved training course before the endorsement application. Training covers Wyoming RON law, platform requirements, identity verification standards, and electronic recordkeeping. Verify the current approved training provider list at sos.wyo.gov/notary before enrolling. Keep the completion certificate to include with your endorsement application.

Wyoming-Approved RON Platforms

Wyoming requires the use of an SoS-approved technology platform. Platforms that have been approved for Wyoming RON include:

• Notarize (Proof) – high consumer session volume, per-session payment model
• DocVerify – enterprise and financial document workflows
• SIGNiX – mortgage and title company integrations
• NotaryLive – strong notary scheduling and session management

Verify the current Wyoming-approved list at sos.wyo.gov/notary before finalizing your platform choice. Include your selected platform in the endorsement application.

Wyoming Traditional Commission: Key Facts

Wyoming notary commissions are 4-year terms, issued by the Secretary of State centrally (not at county level). The application process requires a $30 fee and a background check. Wyoming residents and those with a business location in Wyoming are eligible. The commission process is straightforward, and the RON endorsement adds an additional layer once the commission is in hand.

After the Endorsement: Wyoming RON Compliance

Once endorsed, Wyoming RON notaries must:

• Use only the approved platform(s) listed in the endorsement
• Use the electronic notary seal (not the traditional ink seal) during remote sessions
• Maintain an electronic journal with complete entries per act
• Retain audio-visual recordings per Wyoming’s retention requirements
• Use Wyoming-specific remote notarial certificate language
• Notify the SoS if changing to a different approved platform after endorsement

What Wyoming RON Notaries Can Notarize

Wyoming RON covers acknowledgments, oaths and affirmations, jurats, and signature witnessing. Practical volume areas:

• Real estate and ranch/property documents – Wyoming’s active land and property market
• Energy sector documents – Wyoming’s oil, gas, and coal industries generate consistent notarization demand
• Legal and business documents – powers of attorney, corporate documents, affidavits
• Out-of-state signers – Wyoming RON notaries can serve signers anywhere nationally

Common Mistakes Wyoming RON Notaries Make

• Using a traditional ink seal during remote sessions – Wyoming requires the electronic notary seal for RON
• Enrolling in training not on Wyoming’s approved list
• Using a platform not on Wyoming’s current approved list
• Performing remote sessions before the endorsement is issued
• Letting the commission expire without verifying endorsement renewal requirements

Before You Start

Wyoming RON requires a SoS-issued endorsement before any remote session. Complete the approved training, obtain your electronic notary seal, submit the endorsement application with training proof and platform information, pay the $25 fee, and wait for confirmation.
