OR, fax a copy of your commission to Notary Rotary at 877-349-6590. Your official notary seal will not be manufactured until we receive your Certificate of Commission.
Although Wyoming statues do not require keeping a notary journal, it is wise and highly recommended by the Secretary of State. The notary journal helps prevent confusion and protects the notary from accusations of wrong doing. A notary journal is a permanent detailed written record of all notarizations performed by the notary. Visit the Notary Rotary online store to purchase additional supplies and insurance. Your order will be processed as soon as possible, usually shipping in one to two days. |
