Do You Need a Notary for a Will in Wyoming?

No, not for the will itself.

The signing rule on the pages we read asks for two competent witnesses. A notary isn't part of that rule; one comes in for the self-proving affidavit, where it's used.

In the source's wording

"witnessed by two (2) competent witnesses"

What else the signing needs

Self-proving affidavit: Allowed, before an officer authorized to administer oaths. Since July 1, 2023 witnesses may sign the self-proving form electronically by secure means.
"each made before an officer authorized to administer oaths under the laws of the state where execution occurs"

Next step

Plan an in-person signing, with the witnesses in the room. Online notarization of a will is generally not available through us: New Jersey's remote notarization law leaves wills and codicils out for signers outside the U.S. (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10), and states set their own rules on video witnessing. Here: Since July 1, 2023, witnesses may appear by audio-video if they can see and hear the testator in real time and can securely sign electronically.
