Can a notary charge more than $10 per notarial act in Wyoming?

For the notarial act itself, no — Wyoming caps it at $10 per notarial act. A mobile notary may add a separate travel/convenience fee, which is not the notarial fee and must be disclosed and agreed to in advance. Always ask for it itemized.

Will my bank notarize for free in Wyoming?

Often, yes — many banks and credit unions notarize documents free for their account holders during branch hours. Call ahead: not every branch has a notary on duty, and some won't handle every document type.

What ID do I need to get something notarized in Wyoming?

A current, government-issued photo ID is the standard requirement; the exact list of acceptable IDs is set by Wyoming. Check Wyoming Secretary of State — Notaries Public before your appointment for the authoritative list.

How much does a notary cost in Wyoming?

Most "notary cost" pages are run by an online-notarization platform or a notary supplier — each answering with its own product. This one isn't. Here's what it actually costs in Wyoming, all your options compared fairly — including the one where your bank does it for free.

$10

per notarial act — that's the notarial stamp, capped by Wyoming. Getting a notary to you (the trip) is a separate, market-set charge. Wyoming caps a notary's fee at $10 per notarial act (Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-126(b)(i)), and $10 per acknowledgement/signature/oath when more than one person appears on a single record; the same $10-per-act cap applies to remote online notarization, though a notary may also add a technology fee (uncapped but agreed in advance and disclosed as not mandated by law) and a travel fee limited to the IRS standard mileage rate.

The two prices, separated

1 · The notarial fee

$10 per notarial act

State-capped. This is the official act — verifying you, witnessing the signature, applying the stamp. It's the same amount whether you drive to the notary or they drive to you.

2 · The travel / convenience fee

capped

Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-126(b)(iv): a travel fee must be equal to or less than the standard mileage rates allowed by the U.S. IRS, the notary and the requester must agree on the travel fee in advance of the travel, and the notary must explain that the travel fee is separate from the notarial fee and neither specified nor mandated by law. Rules (Notary Rules Ch. 6 § 6) address non-refund/refund of prepaid travel fees. It only applies when a notary comes to you — a bank or walk-in counter doesn't charge it.

Your options, compared honestly

Option	What you pay	When it's the right call
Bank / credit union	Often free for account holders	Simple documents, during branch hours, when you can get there. Call first — not every branch has a notary.
Walk-in (UPS-type)	Up to $10 per notarial act + the store's own convenience fee	You're already out, no account at a bank, need it now. You travel to them.
Mobile notary	$10 per notarial act act fee + a travel fee (a base rate plus mileage, set by the notary)	Hospital, homebound, after-hours, real-estate or multi-signer signings — when the trip is worth paying for. Ask for the travel fee itemized upfront.
Online / RON RON · Live in-state	$10 per session	You can notarize by video without leaving home. Confirm the receiving party accepts a remote notarization.

Wyoming specifics

Fee schedule: Wyoming caps a notary's fee at $10 per notarial act (Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-126(b)(i)), and $10 per acknowledgement/signature/oath when more than one person appears on a single record; the same $10-per-act cap applies to remote online notarization, though a notary may also add a technology fee (uncapped but agreed in advance and disclosed as not mandated by law) and a travel fee limited to the IRS standard mileage rate.

Travel fees: Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-126(b)(iv): a travel fee must be equal to or less than the standard mileage rates allowed by the U.S. IRS, the notary and the requester must agree on the travel fee in advance of the travel, and the notary must explain that the travel fee is separate from the notarial fee and neither specified nor mandated by law. Rules (Notary Rules Ch. 6 § 6) address non-refund/refund of prepaid travel fees.

Fee is a maximum, not a fixed rate: a notary may charge up to $10 per act, charge less, or waive the fee entirely (Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-126(a)).

Multiple signers on one record: when more than one person appears before the notary to complete a notarial act on a single record, the notary may charge up to $10 per acknowledgement, signature, oath/affirmation, certification, or note of protest (§ 32-3-126(b)(ii)) — effectively $10 per signer.

A notary may require payment of fees BEFORE performing the act (§ 32-3-126(c)); prepaid fees are nonrefundable at the notary's discretion once the act is completed (§ 32-3-126(d)).

Technology fee for electronic/remote notarization is NOT capped by statute, but the notary must (a) agree on the total fee with the signer in advance and (b) explain that the technology fee is separate from the notarial fee and neither specified nor mandated by law (§ 32-3-126(b)(iii)).

Travel fee is capped at the IRS standard mileage rate and must be agreed on and disclosed in advance (§ 32-3-126(b)(iv)).

An employer may prohibit an employee-notary from charging for notarial acts performed as part of employment (§ 32-3-126(e)).

The old $500 surety bond requirement was eliminated by the 2021 law (SF0029); some older guides still list a Wyoming bond.

Some outdated Secretary of State application instructions/third-party summaries still cite an old $5-per-act maximum from the pre-2021 statute; the current binding cap under Wyo. Stat. § 32-3-126(b) is $10.

Remote online notarization: RON · Live in-state — Remote online notarization is authorized and operational in Wyoming under the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (Title 32, Ch. 3), enacted by Laws 2021, ch. 27 (SF0029), effective July 1, 2021. No separate RON dollar cap: the $10 per-act fee applies, plus an uncapped-but-disclosed technology fee.
