Wyoming signing & recording
No — in Wyoming the grantor's notarized signature is enough; no separate witnesses are required (Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-113 — execution 'shall be acknowledged by the party or parties executing same, before any notarial officer'; no witness requirement, as of 2026). Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-113 (acknowledgment before a notarial officer, complying with W.S. 32-3-109) and § 34-1-118 (the certificate of acknowledgment or proof entitles the deed to be recorded). Record the signed deed with the County Clerk ('the office of the county clerk in the county where the land lies', Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-1-118, 34-1-119). Check the current Wyoming deed rules before recording.
Married? If the property is (or may be) your homestead, your spouse may need to sign the deed even if they are not on title — several states require it, and a deed missing that signature can be rejected for recording or invalid. Use the “Co-grantor / spouse” field above to add their signature line, and check your state’s rule before recording.
Existing mortgage? Transferring mortgaged property can trigger the loan’s “due-on-sale” clause. Federal law (12 U.S.C. §1701j-3(d), the Garn–St Germain Act) bars lenders from enforcing it for several transfers of residential property with fewer than five dwelling units — including a transfer to the borrower’s spouse or children, a transfer resulting from a divorce decree, and a transfer into an inter vivos (living) trust in which the borrower is and remains a beneficiary. The loan itself stays in place either way — nobody is released until it is refinanced. Read the statute ↗
Frequently asked questions
Does Wyoming require witnesses on a quitclaim deed?
No — in Wyoming the grantor's notarized signature is enough; no separate witnesses are required (Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-113 — execution 'shall be acknowledged by the party or parties executing same, before any notarial officer'; no witness requirement, as of 2026). Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-113 (acknowledgment before a notarial officer, complying with W.S. 32-3-109) and § 34-1-118 (the certificate of acknowledgment or proof entitles the deed to be recorded).
Where do I record the deed in Wyoming?
With the County Clerk ('the office of the county clerk in the county where the land lies', Wyo. Stat. §§ 34-1-118, 34-1-119) where the property is located. Recording is what makes the transfer visible to the world — an unrecorded deed can be valid between the parties but lose to a later buyer or lender who records first. Take the original signed deed, pay the recording fee, and keep the returned stamped copy.
Is there a transfer tax in Wyoming?
Wyoming does not levy a state real-estate transfer tax on deeds (as of 2026). Local recording fees still apply, and the recorder may require a cover sheet or tax form even for exempt transfers.
