$500 Notary Bond and Oath

Required by the state of Wyoming to become a Wyoming notary public.

A notary surety bond protects the public from mistakes you make while performing your notarial duties during the term of your commission that result in damage to the public.

If you would like coverage that protects you from the financial damage that could result from making a notarial mistake, you should consider a Notary Errors & Omissions policy. Subject to policy limits and provisions, an E&O policy will protect you, the notary, from financial harm.


What does the law say about the Wyoming Notary Bond?

Wyoming Notary Handbook
NOTARY BOND
A notary bond does not insure the notary against liability. The bond is a surety bond which protects the public. An injured party files a claim against the notary's bond. If collected by the claimant, the bond company collects reimbursement from the notary.


NOTARY INSURANCE
Notaries caninsure themselves against claims from the public through errors and omissions insurance. "E & O" insurance does not cover acts which are dishonest, criminal, fraudulent, illegal or malicious. E & O insurance covers "honest" mistakes. The purchase of E & O insurance can be highly cost-effective and is worth looking into. Discuss it with your employer.
