Wyoming e-signature and notarization law

Wyoming's electronic signature law: the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Wyo. Stat. §§ 40-21-101 through 40-21-119). Electronic signatures are also valid under the federal ESIGN Act for most transactions. Some documents are excluded, such as wills, divorce and adoption documents, court orders and certain official notices.

The fuller federal list is in our guide to e-signing in the United States.

What Wyoming's e-signature law does not cover

Wyo. Stat. § 40-21-103 says the Act does not apply to transactions governed by:

• Laws on making and executing wills, codicils and testamentary trusts.
• The Uniform Commercial Code, other than W.S. 34.1-1-107 and 34.1-1-206, article 2 and article 2A.

How Wyoming's law treats electronic records

Wyoming's writing rule is at § 40-21-107: if a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law.

Remote online notarization in Wyoming

Remote online notarization: allowed in Wyoming since July 1, 2021.

Wyoming's Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts says a remote online notarization may be performed by a notarial officer for any notarial act, if the statute's conditions are met. A remotely located person is someone not in the physical presence of a notarial officer.

Wyoming relies on a notice requirement, with no separate commission. A notary public has to inform the Secretary of State before the first notarial act on an electronic record or for a remotely located person.

The law was created by 2021 Senate File 0029, which added W.S. 32-3-101 through 32-3-131 and took effect July 1, 2021, apart from two sections.

A Wyoming notarial officer executes a remote online notarization in a single recorded session, records the entire communication, and, apart from listed exceptions, keeps sole possession of that recording. An officer must refuse a request to use technology that does not meet the Act.

Wyoming also offers remote ink notarization for acknowledgments: the principal signs and dates a paper document and submits it to the officer, who then begins the act with the principal by communication technology and identifies the principal.

A remote act is considered performed in Wyoming and governed by Wyoming law, wherever the principal is, and its certificate must indicate that an electronic notarization system or other communication technology was used.

SignAndGo doesn't notarize documents. A commissioned notary does that, using a remote notarization platform where the state allows it.
