People far and wide have come to associate this image with the State of Wyoming and the University of Wyoming.


Notaries Public

A notary public is a public officer who, upon application, is commissioned by the Secretary of State for a four-year term and holds an office of trust and profit. Because a notary is a public official, he or she is obligated to serve all persons who request lawful notarial acts during normal business hours. A notary is not commissioned for the personal convenience of any one employer.
