Wyoming Notary Handbook - AM I REQUIRED TO KEEP A NOTARIAL LOG BOOK?
Keeping a notarial log book, or journal, is not required in Wyoming, although
you may wish to do so for your own protection. Depending on the number and
types of notarial acts performed, recording official notarial acts in a journal
may prove useful later if you need to recall the specifics of a particular
notarization. Such an instance might include testifying in a legal proceeding
regarding your verification of a signer’s identity and verification that you
personally witnessed their signature on a document.
