Step 2: Order your surety bond and other supplies from Notary Rotary, Inc.
All notaries public for the State of Wyoming are required to file a $500 surety bond with the county clerk in your county, or obtain a property bond form from the Secretary of State. Wyoming law states a notary must own and use a notarial seal to authenticate all acts performed as a notary public. A notary journal is a permanent detailed written record of all notarizations performed by the notary. The notary journal protects the notary from accusations of wrong doing and it helps prevent the notary from engaging in wrong doing. Every journal entry is legally presumed to be truthful. Wyoming statutes do not require keeping a journal but it is wise and highly recommended by the Secretary of State.
