In most states, the stated minimum fee does not limit what the notary may charge for non-notary services that he or she is qualified to provode. These other services might include advise from an attorney, copying, delivery, or travel.

Yup, that’s why I specifically stated that these fees are the maximum for single-page, single-signature notarizations. That’s all I had done the other day, and I was still overcharged. If I had needed a copy of something, I expect I would have had to pay $80 more or something!

In New Hampshire you can go to your local bank and they usually have a notary on staff who will do it for free if you have an account for them. I’ve done this both at Sovereign Bank and Bank of America

I can’t believe this was a serious enough issue that states had to enact laws to set limits. Maybe the result of the Notary Mafia in the 70s or something.

Florida Notary

As a notary who travels throughout my geographical region, I’m always very careful to state that my fee includes a travel fee of $xx, plus the state-authorized $10 notarial fee. I state the fees up front when I take an initial call from a potential customer. I also have an office in our local pack ‘n ship (no, I’m not the big fat notary guy)…and I charge only the state-authorized fee for single page notarizations.

You should be aware, though, that some states allow a notary to charge per signature rather than per notarization. In those states, multiple signers on a document allows the notary to charge the state-authorized fee for each signature rather than each stamp. Florida is not one of those states, however.

FYI, most states also have a prescribed method to file a complaint about notary misconduct. For Florida, the method is listed on the Secretary of State’s website and at the Governor’s Office website. If a complaint is found to be true, the State will revoke the notary’s commission.

Thanks for your input, Florida Notary. I’m sure I could expand the chart to include the states that allow per-signature charges, but that would take some time to research. I’ll keep it on my plate though.

And of course it’s expected that traveling notaries will charge traveling fees. No point in driving 60 miles if you can only make $2.00 for a notarization.

Notary Public
November 7th, 2007 at 5:10 am

I am laughing about your pursuit of correct fees. Yes, each state has a limit on what a notary can charge for a notarization, that is true. But by listing what the state limits are, you may be confusing and misleading the general public. The state limit fees do not include the use of any supplies. For example, if the notary wording on the document is incorrect, the notary must attach a “loose leaf” sheet with the appropriate wording. There usually is a charge for that. Also, if you can’t get yourself to a shipping place, a mobile or traveling notary is your best option. Can you imagine a notary actually making money charging $4.00 for notarizing a signature after the costs associated with gas, traveling time, supplies such as loose leafs, advertising, maintaining a website? Doesn’t make sense, does it. I guess if you can get a tune up on your car and just pay the price of the spark plugs, then all this would make sense.

The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place” probably does the occasional notarization as his main business is shipping. However full time notaries are up to date on the current notary law and all the types of documents requiring notarizations and how that notarization should be done. Would you want a power of attorney form incorrectly notarized? How about a will or family trust? Would you pay an attorney $5000 to draft a family trust and then have the whole thing worthless in court because you went to the “shipping place notary” cause it only cost $4.00 there?

There are many court cases concerning folks that had documents incorrectly notarized and later found out that the document lost it’s full force and effect because the notarization wasn’t executed correctly.

Here is a link to some cases that I’ve listed on my website, so you can get an idea of the importance of having this done correctly with someone that knows what they are doing http://mymobilenotary.us/news.htm

There’s nothing to laugh about Nick’s pursuit of correct notary fees. The intention is good, warning us that there are notary public that take advantage to the public and their priority is making more money rather than public service. Besides, the table of notary fees that Nick’s posted is very clear, MAXIMUM FEES ALLOWED FOR MOST SINGLE-PAGE, SINGLE SIGNATURE NOTARIZATIONS BY STATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 19,2007, this is , if you’re the one who will bring the single page, single-signature document to the notary public office. Is the signature of the notary public use a gallon of ink and is the seal costs that much? But of course, mobile notary public is another story, and also the correction in the wording of the document that needs “loose leaf” is another thing, any extra service or copies requires extra charge, that is reasonable. But for a single -page , single-signature document that needs no correction at all, it needs just the signature, and you personally bring the document in the office, i don’t think it’s right to exceed the limit that the state implemented. And by the way, are the “shipping place notary” aren’t the same to the other public notary? They are all over the place and internet, how come they are allowed to operate? I appreciate it if somebody answers this question. And Nick, thank you for the informations you’re giving to all the people in the internet, it’s really a big help to us, I hope you continue doing this! Good luck and may the force be with you!

Rounin, the shipping place notaries are real public notaries. They get away with their extra fees because people don’t know about the maximum allowable fees and how to report violators.

Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered today so that I, the Mighty Obbop, star of neither stage nor screen, can share his accumulated wisdom of a really long time.

“How long, Obbop,” I can envision the assembled multitude shouting out, in unison, sounding like one loud voice that roars across the proverbial fruited plains, echoing off purple-tinted mountains rising majestically above the fore-mentioned plains that, lying within the rain shadow of said mountains likely can not naturally allow the growing of fruit trees unless the bipedal primates infesting the planet where all this is going on perform some sort of irrigation to allow the growing of trees that result in fruited plains.

Oh. Notary fees.

Uhhhh… in the cultural backwater of Nebraska, at least in the Omaha area, every notary I have stumbled across does not charge a fee for stamping their stamp upon the paper needing a notary stamp.

Bank employees, insurance agency workers, there’s a slew of folks ready to make their official notary mark with nary a fee.

Bless their little souls.

The general public has no clue about what professional notaries do for a living. They think we just go around and sign our names for cash. The shipping store guy – yeah – he’s a rip off. The person who doesn’t charge anything – doesn’t care what the document is and probably doesn’t/can’t read it anyway, which I might add is a violation of being commissioned where I’m from, maybe one-horse towns have no laws governing their notaries?? I can’t believe that anyone is squawking about having to pay a mere $2.00 for a professional service. And if you think you aren’t paying at the bank, check your statement next time – oh, you’re paying for it whether you choose to watch them take it out of your pocket or not. LOL

What a rip off!! How can I report this violation?

Update on previous post, I called another UPS store on Nicholasville Road and they charge $7.50 per seal! When I asked why it wasn’t .20 or .50 cents as listed in the Kentucky Notary Handbook, the man replied that they run a business, and have to pay for lights, electricity and operational costs! WTF!!!!!!!! And that the .20 or .50 cent charges would only be if you “provided the service out of your house or something”

COMMON CENTS....GET IT?
November 25th, 2008 at 10:45 am

If you do not agree with the fee, don’t pay it. Find another Notary.

If, however, you feel that you MUST make the world a better place and want to take the time to do the research about notary fees AFTER you needed a notary, then find a web site like this. Report the Notary in question.

Be aware, after you have documented all the conditions in which you feel the big bad “large” notary signed your document or documents and charged you a whopping $4 bucks, he might have been entitled to charge you. Knowledge is power. If you bring charges against him/her they to have rights and might file counter claim against you for and your alleged injustice of $2.00. But after having to hire a lawyer do defend your self, was it all worth it? See how out of control things can get when people get petty.

I’m a volunteer tax preparer in Baltimore MD and i became a notary public because we could help the clients better, after finding out that they was people out there taking advantage of the public.
Last tax season we help an immigrant filled his taxes, he needed itin numbers his family. He had all the required documents that needed notarization.
The client came back the following day asking where else could he go because the Notary he found was charging him $.30.00 por page when the maximum fee was $5.00 using the stamp or embosser.
Luckyly for him we was able to find out the requirements, so some other volunteers and I became notary Public.
I appreciate the time you have put in to inform people about their rights.

I myself am a Georgia Notary Public/Officer of the State.

and yes there are those who take advantage of those who don’t no what the limits on notary services are and in most cases they don’t even no what a notary public is or dose.

when I became a notary, before filing my application my signature had to be signed in the presence of a notary, so I asked the staff at the superior court clerks office if they had a notary to assist me they calmly said NO we don’t have a notary here and directed me to the counties tag and title office, that they may have one there, I inquired there and they did and the lady signed & stamped my application for appointment as a Notary and charged me $10.00 Georgia max fee is $2.00

I paid it and then returned to the same superior court clerks office (that had NO notary) handed over my application, paid my fee and was sworn into office by a county judge.

I am a Ky Notary. I find that it is very common that the county Clerk’s office does not know or follow the statutes regarding Notaries. I became a Notary 3 years ago and have never charged for the service. I will be sworn in on 5/1 as an attorney and I became a notary so I could help with all the pro bono work we were doing through my law school.

I have both a stamp and an embosser because some situations require an embosser or a stamp even though in KY it is legal to just use your signature and the expiration date of your appointment.

Very accurate list! I know that it can be expensive to get a notarization, but as a notary public I can testify to the fee’s and schooling that we have to go through to service the public. It cost us money to serve the public, so a couple bucks is not to much to ask is it?

Wow, there are some really defensive notaries out there. “Notary Public” takes the cake, though: he implies that Nick went to the shipping place notary because it “ONLY cost $4″ there (which, you may remember, is already twice the legal limit); I wonder how many times the legal limit he feels Nick should have paid to insure that he was getting quality service.

The point is not how much he paid. The point is that the state has set a limit, and if a notary is charging more than that without apparently providing any extra-value services, it raises the question as to what OTHER regulations he might be willing to ignore for a few extra bucks. ABSOLUTELY these people should be reported to the state for investigation. Maybe the excess is a legitimate charge, but if so, why isn’t the notary spelling out exactly what it’s for up front?

Fed Up Notary
January 6th, 2010 at 6:51 pm

“Rip-off, my butt!” Ferchrissake, get a grip and stop whining about notary fees, especially at “shipping stores.” I own one, I’m a notary, and I’m about to shut down that function, ’cause I’ve had a bellyfull of mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging cheapskate idiots who slap a pile of paperwork on the counter and say “I need dis notarized,” expecting me to explain the particulars of the document to him/her, bitching about having to go 50 feet to the car ’cause they forgot any I.D, and generally tying up my time and counter space, preventing me from doing real business, while their snot-nosed brats entertain themselves by opening bags of packing peanuts or banging on the buttons on the copying machines, then finally saying, “Yew mean yew charge for each time yew stamp hit?” Most notaries in shipping stores got to be one ’cause they were told it would bring in traffic that could be converted to customers. In 15 years, I can’t remember one notarty customer who ever bought anything else, or came back, either. If I could, I’d charge $20 for every stamp. But since I can’t, screw it, you won’t find me listed under Notaries in the next Yellow Pages, I’ll damn well tell you. Let the whiners who complain about spending about the same price as a McMeal for the services of someone who is putting a great deal of liability on the line–and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE–try and find someone at a bank who’ll even see them if they’re not a customer, let alone do it for free. Did I mention, “screw ‘em?” And you, too, if that’s your cheapskate attitude.

NOTARY PUBLIC ( 18 YEARS), CERTIFIED SIGNING AGENT ( 6 YEARS ), MEMBER NATIONAL NOTARY ASSOCIATION ( 18 YEARS ), SHIPPING STORE OWNER ( 15 YEARS )

First, I agree that most if not all states establish maximum fee schedules for notary publics.

Second, I agree that all notary’s should adhere to those established maximum fee schedules, that is the law!

Third, you of all people should recognize the liability that a notary assumes in the performance of their notary acts and you of all people should recognize that the fees are grossly out of line.

Fourth, you apparently found value and or convenience in the $4 notary fees or you were stupid in not going else where.

Fifth, Since you found value and or convenience in the fee then you have NO complaint.

Sixth, Regarding your answer (#7) to “Florida Notary”, YES you do need to do the research regardless of the time necessary. If you are going to provide information to the public then provide factual information not partial fact information.

Seventh, to “Notary Public”. Your insinuation that “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place” is not “up to date on the current notary law and all the types of documents requiring notarizations and how that notarization should be done” MAY be true in some situations although I know many of these shipping store owners and I also know the lengths they go to in order to stay current and many of them are more knowledgeable than self proclaimed “professional” notary’s. I have found that MANY “professional” notary publics are “not up to date on the current notary law and all the types of documents requiring notarizations and how that notarization should be done”. That is one of the reasons banks across the nation are getting out of the notary business. Too dang much liability and too costly for them to stay current with notary law. And I do agree with your statement regarding the “importance of having this done correctly with someone that knows what they are doing” but that does not preclude “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place”..

Eighth, to “Rounin” regarding your statement “Is the signature of the notary public use a gallon of ink and is the seal costs that much”? But of course, mobile notary public is another story,” Question – are you saying that because the mobile notary incurs additional expenses in going to the client that additional charges above the state authorized charges are then justified ? Is this because the mobile notary now has the additional expense of additional time, auto expense, advertising, etc., etc., which is professional recognized as “Overhead Expenses” ? The justifiably “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place” also has additional expense in providing a convenient location for the client. Let’s see, lease payments, utility bills, business insurance, just to name a few of a list of expenses a mile long that no client ever takes into account when considering the “cost of business” necessary to provide the convenience and service. These additional expenses are above and beyond the expenses of a common mobile notary which the “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place” still has to pay.. In your statement you insinuate that the cost of the notary should be justified by the amount of ink and the cost of the seal – prorated of course ? Then do you charge more that a nickel for your notary service? If you do then in your own assessment you are over charging the client regardless of what your state allows you to charge for the performance of your duties. Aghhhh, and you probable call yourself a business man also.. Aghhhhh…
You stated “And by the way, are the “shipping place notary” aren’t the same to the other public notary?’ To answer the question – YES they are. They are Commissioned by the same authority that Commissioned you. Was that wrong? They are held to the same standards that you are. Is that wrong ? You also stated “They are all over the place” YES, providing a safe, convenient location for the public to have documents properly notarized. How convenient is your location ? Are you operating out of your residence? Just how convenient is that? How professional doe the client perceive you to be if you cannot afford a regular business location? You further stated “and internet, how come they are allowed to operate?” WHOA, BOY.. Do you advertise YOUR mobile notary business via the internet ? YEP you probably do! Then why is it OK for you to do so and not OK for “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place”.. Hypocrite ! You asked “how come they are allowed to operate?” Because they have been Commissioned by the same authority you were. They conform to the same laws you do. They become educated in notary law just like you do and provide the exact same service you do in a more convenient location to clients than you probably do. Have you ever performed a notary act in the front seat of your car? Probably.. Just how professional is that???? You stated “There are many court cases concerning folks that had documents incorrectly notarized and later found out that the document lost it’s full force and effect because the notarization wasn’t executed correctly.
My question is – How many of these acts were committed by “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place” and how many were committed by “professional notaries”? You also stated “Would you pay an attorney $5000 to draft a family trust and then have the whole thing worthless in court because you went to the “shipping place notary” cause it only cost $4.00 there? Well let’s see, if you were in the same state as Nick are you saying you would have done it for $2 because that is what the state allows??? Then what does the price issue have to do with legally performing a notary act? The rate is regulated by the state. But since the notary only charged $4 then the notary act has no value?? And you would charge more so the client perceives your notary act has more value??? Aghhhhhhhhhhhh…
Ninth, To “J” poster # 13 – You stated “The general public has no clue about what professional notaries do for a living. They think we just go around and sign our names for cash. The shipping store guy – yeah – he’s a rip off.”
So, you are a “professional notary” ! Perhaps the shipping story guy Nick encountered was a rip off. BUT Nick found convenience and value as he was willing to pay the charges. Please do not judge all shipping store guys and gals in the same light until you have personal knowledge. Should I judge all Home Based Mobile Notary’s working out of a spare bedroom of their residence in the same light as “Fly by Night” notaries – Here today and gone tomorrow ? However “J” there is some brilliance in the balance of your statements. Thank you. Just how much would be proper to pay for a “professional” service. Certainly the fees of $ 2, $4, etc., don’t really reflect the professionalism of the notary and it is an insult to the notary to be regulated to such piddling fees.. It nowhere near reflects the actual cost of providing the service even if it is performed in the front seat of a car ! Let alone the liability incurred.

Tenth, Christine – post # 10.. I do not condone the statements or the charges as you have stated and you should notify your state authority. I certainly hope your language on an open forum such as this doesn’t reflect your professionalism.

And lastly – Dear Fed Up Notary, While you state your experience with SOME of your notary clients I would dare say it is the exception instead of the rule.
In my stores we have found the same type clients you describe to be some of our shipping clients. It is by virtue of having a convenient retail location that these types also walk thru our doors.
I do believe you should allow your commission to expire and concentrate on your core business of shipping. Your attitude towards notary clients certainly shouldn’t carry across to your clients whether they be notary clients or shipping clients.

Seriously? I’m embarrassed by some of the so called “professional” notaries jumping all over poor Nick for being an ungratefully wretch. He simply chose to post some information about state laws and you get all defense about how rough and misunderstood your profession is, as if he were attaching you, which he’s not.

If you have a problem with the fee limits in your state…talk to your state about it. Or, better yet, don’t become a notary! You knew the fees when you started! Don’t blame the customer for your inability to cover overhead or belief that the fee is not appropriate for the liability involved. $4 or $40, the amount does not matter, if an establishment is charging more than the law allows, it is ripping people off for profit.

Honestly, you should never have to pay to get something notarized. There is so many different sources of notaries that you can almost always find someone to do it for free. This may include going to your bank which will almost always ahve a notary to asking around between your friends. In the end, the fee may not be much, but through a little research you can almost always find a notary that will not charge.

Sounds like some of you want something done for nothing. Do you think it’s fair that the notary who took a class and paid all their fees to become a notary not be compensated at all? How cheap can you be. Especially if the person became a notary for additional income purposes. I agree though that noteries that over charge on fees should be reported. There are plenty of noteries out there that may notirize your documents for free. You just need to know were they are, usually family members or friends of family members that’s a notary. Other than that, pay for the service.

Wanting to become a Notary
March 21st, 2010 at 7:03 pm

This is the first site i’ve found about becoming a notary that includes fees listed. I was looking around on the internet first hoping to find what i needed to become a notary and read up on the laws and such. Not to mention finding where I would need to go for classes and what the cost of supplies were.

Just so you know, here are the basics rates i’ve found just for supplies. The cheapest I’ve found is 45 for just the bare minimum. Then to get the Maximum Insurrance policy along with handbook, a second back up seal and a journal of notarial acts up to 166 dollars for supplies only.

Classes i’ve found range from 40-70 dollars. Just so you know what it’s required to be a Notary. This is in illinois btw. I’m looking still for local classes but i may have tosettlefor a internet class. That and I’m still looking for all the laws and any additional information I can get on what’s required.

I agree that a notary should never charge more than what the state law allows. That is the reaon that I allowed my notary to lapse after doing notary work for over 20 years. The maximum fee in my state is $5.00 but I rarely charged anything. I would guess that around 80% of the time or more, I did it for free.

Most of the people I did notary work for were wonderful people and extremely appreciative that I was willing to do it for free or even for the $5.00.

Increasingly, however, in recent years, it had become more and more common to have people who wanted to 1) have me do things that were either in a gray area or downright illegal and 2) grumble and complain about the $5.00 and 3) grumble or complain becasue I required proper ID and 4) ask me to explain the paperwork to them which I could not do in most cases since it would be Unauthorized Practice of Law(UPL) and 5) waste my time with idle chit chat so that I could not get back to work and 6) I could go on and on.

I actually hated to let the notary go becasue it enabled me to provide a service to others who came into my business. But, at some point, I simply had to say, “Enough is enough.”

Now, I simply direct them to go to their bank where the vast majority of the time it is free anyway.

For those who may feel like $5.00 is a lot of money for 2 minutes of work, as an increasing number of complainers to me did, I urge you to consider the following areas that do not appear on the surface:
1) There are far more costs and time than than you imagine to becoming and staying a notary.
2) Although in many states it may be that difficult to become a notary, in most states, nnt just anyone can can be approved. So it takes a person with at the very least a good background to get that notary. A person like that is not going to risk his/her reputation for gray areas.
3) You are only paying for the 2 minutes. you are not paying to get that person’s advice on everything else under the sun while you are there. If you want any advice on any topic, you should be prepared to pay for that advice.
4) Notaries are held under strict guidelines under a statute called “Unauthorized Practice of Law” and can get into big trouble if they give you any advice that can be construed as legal advice (unless they are lawyers).
5) It only takes one notary issue to toally wipe out a notary’s entire finances. For example, if someone loses a house because of a notary issue, they can sue the notary for the value of the house PLUS whatever they can get for pain and suffering. As a result, it is vital that notaries stick by ALL of the rules.
6) Most notaries I have been acquainted with know that you don’t become a notary to make money. They are providing a service. Do not begrudge them charging whatever the maximum legal fee is in your state.

I give everyone this form:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING NOTARY FEES!

The State of ************ allows notaries to charge $X.00 for each signature they notarize. In addition to this, however, there are frequently other charges that cause the fee you incur to be higher. Here are some examples of things that cause the fee to increase:

1. Except for your signature, the document should be fully completed before you arrive. There is a time charge if we have to wait for you to fill in the document or if you ask our assistance in filling in the document for you.
2. Although we cannot provide any legal advice, there are sometimes occasions when we are asked to provide a general explanation of part or all of a document. Since that is not part of the notarization process, there is a time charge for that as well.
3. If your document has not already been fully created or if we have to add an addendum to your document for our signature(s), there will be a document creation charge.
4. If we have to travel to get to you to provide the notarization, there will be a travel charge.

There may be other activities or issues that require an extra charge as well but the above are representative of the reasons why additional charges exist.

Poster #38 said it best. In my state I’m allowed to charge $5 per signature plus actual travel expenses. I stopped doing private notarizations a few years ago here’s an example of why…

Let’s say I get a call. It’s 2:30pm on a lovely Friday afternoon. Man needs a poa notarized in a hospital. He is going in to surgery in the morning and needs this done NOW. I understand he is in a bad situation and I want to help. Years ago I would have, I would have arranged for a babysitter, got dressed in my business attire and raced 8 miles away to the hospital, paid my for my parking, navigated the long halls of the hospital, identified and listened patiently to the signer (to make sure he was in the right frame of mind to being signing such an important document), find a couple of witnesses (identified them) and notarized the doc, and raced home to relieve the sitter and start dinner. For this I would be able to charge $5 for the signature and roughly $16 for travel. Sound like 2 minutes?

Now, this being a Friday afternoon in rush hour, 8 miles takes 25 minutes to get there, 5 minutes to find parking and 10 minutes inside the hospital to locate the patient. Drive home, rush hour now takes 35 minutes. Parking at the hospital is a bargain at $3. Babysitter, because I’m gone more than two hours costs me $20. My state does not allow a public notary to charge for time. My time. I didn’t become a notary to do charity work or worse cost me but that’s usually how it turns out. I know some notaries will do this sort of job for $25 or $50 but that’s against the law in my state and I’m not willing to lose my commission so I don’t take these calls anymore. I’ve had people call me from airports, schools,and nursing homes on major holidays ~ it’s a shame people who write the laws don’t understand that notaries are working people just like they are and deserve to make an honest wage.

For 29 (Ron)-You bring up some excellent points; however, not having the time to find another Notary does not mean someone is stupid, it means they are busy.
I, too, work for but (do not own) a shipping store. I’ve been a Notary for 8 years, and I can tell you that California has some of the toughest Notary laws in the nation. We provide a necessary service to out customers, whom we certainly value.

The amount of liablity that a Notary carries is downright scary, especially since there is no statute of limitations for Notarial mistakes in California. It has to be worth our while to perform the service. If anyone believes that they have been cheated, they should absolutely contact the Commissioning agency (in CA it is the Secretary of State).
I would also point out that in California, the chances of finding a Notary who will notarize for free is infinitesimal. Even the banks in my area will absolutely NOT notarize unless it is their own document(s).
BTW, California does not allow Notaries Public to charge for attachments, i.e. acknowledgment or jurat certificates.

Furthermore, I would say to those who feel that they have been cheated: if you have witnessed a Notary committing fraud by charging too much for services (or any other misdeed) but have not reported it to the regulating agency, you are in part responsible for every subsequent act of fraud that Notary commits. They CANNOT be stopped if they are not reported.

I agree with SIKA! It’s really appalling the arrogance and unprofessional attitude that a couple of (not all) the notaries have displayed here.

The blogger CLEARLY STATES the info he is giving us is just a stock or standard state allowed maximum rate for single page signing. He advises us that we need to do our own research for anything OUTSIDE OF THAT SCOPE. So anyone “laughing” or rather whining about misleading or confusion or the “lack” of info needs to go back to school and learn how to comprehend what they read. (And a Notary is the one who said this….pretty scary that he can’t comprehend what is in very plain English – wouldn’t want him as my notary that’s for sure.)

RON – Clearly you have resentment issues among other things. Every single point you made was dripping with disdain. Your condescending remarks ………to several of the posters and especially Nick’s – the person who took the time – HIS VALUABLE TIME to inform all who seek the info in a precise and informative manner without “charging” a fee was not only out of line but WRONG on every point you tried to make.

Perhaps you should be the one to learn some “professional” communication skills while you learn some reading comprehension because Nick clearly stated his information accurately as far as his experience allowed. And he specifically stated the limits of it. If you don’t get that and CLEARLY you don’t, based on your immature response, (“you’re stupid for not going somewhere else…”) that’s your problem not Nicks.

You go on to insult him in other points where you claim he is wrong…the comment “If you are going to provide information to the public then provide factual information not partial fact information.” um who died and made you ruler of what someone is supposed provide on their own blog? I could see this comment making sense if…..it actually made sense but it doesn’t because AGAIN – Nick states the scope of his information so obvious that a 12 year would understand it.

I would love to pick apart all the inaccuracies, misinformation, and misinterpretations you raised in your admonishment to Rounin but I don’t have time. So, I’ll just state a few of the obvious ones that I’m sure everyone saw but you failed miserably to. The question was asked by Rounin is the shipping notary the same as a public one? even though Nick ALREADY answered that directly below the post you felt it necessary to go into a whole litany of Q & A’s to Rounin, on top of more name calling peppered with flat out wrong answers. Here was your answer to that question.

“Yes…. They are commissioned by the same authority that commissioned you. Was that wrong? They are held to the same standards that you are. Is that wrong ? You also stated “They are all over the place” YES, providing a safe, convenient location for the public to have documents properly notarized. How convenient is your location ? Are you operating out of your residence? Just how convenient is that? How professional doe the client perceive you to be if you cannot afford a regular business location? You further stated “and internet, how come they are allowed to operate?” WHOA, BOY.. Do you advertise YOUR mobile notary business via the internet ? YEP you probably do! Then why is it OK for you to do so and not OK for “The guy behind the counter at the “shipping place”.. Hypocrite !”

Yet Rounin never stated he/she was a notary! In fact she (lets say she’s female) lead us to believe she was a consumer looking for a notary with fair pricing. In no way did she claim to be a notary or know what the costs of running a notary business was. She jokingly questioned the justification for the signature to the cost of the ink. That’s it nothing more. You apparently were incensed by this and obviously took it personal enough to give her a litany of sarcastic reasons why she was wrong. All this over reaction for a simple one line joke…

Again, It’s begs the question – DO YOU COMPREHEND what you’re reading?

Notaries do not become notaries to “provide convenient and safe locations for the public”. Notaries become notaries for the purpose of convenience for their existing clients and for themselves in facilitating their main career AND to make a little extra cash at the same time. Again for added income and their own convenience just as much as their clients. A shipping office provides it because they know there is a minor demand for it and it provides EXTRA income on top of their existing MAIN business. Nothing philanthropic about it.
Anyone who opens a location strictly for the purpose of notarizing documents would not last 2 months. There simply is not enough business to warrant the cost of paying rent and utilities in a commercial location and you know that, so your statements about the “cost” of running a notary business has absolutely NOTHING to do with the “costs” you listed in your admonishment to Rounin.

when Rounin said ‘of course traveling, adding documents, corrections, copies, etc would entail extra charges. She’s obviously telling us she is aware of the differences between those fees and that of a single page document that is hand carried to the notary. Yet you called her a hypocrite because she justified those charges over the “guy behind the counter”? Why is that hypocritical? Is it because you resent the implication that the guy behind the counter may very well be unethically and illegally overcharging? hmm I wonder…… You don’t even seem to understand that you took 3-4 DIFFERENT people’s posts and combined them into statements made solely by Rounin. Another inaccuracy on your part….

I suggest if you want to sound credible you need to KNOW who you’re responding to and to PROPERLY address the comments or question at hand. Otherwise you sound like a clueless idiot with resentment issues…..

Advertising your credentials in caps at the top of your post (I assume the purpose was to inform us you’re an expert therefore know what you’re talking about) would’ve served its purpose if it hadn’t been followed by such a condescending diatribe of admonishments and defense for those over charges to which you had no legal justification.
The fact is the law is the law and if you have a problem with the fee schedule then maybe you should take it up with the legislators instead of coming in here to whine about the consumers lack of knowledge. You protest too much to sound credible, professional or sane for that matter.
You did however, display classic symptoms of a Narcissistic personality disorder. I would suggest getting some professional help but it would do no good. Narcissists do not think they have a problem with their limited level of intelligence due to their mental instability Nor do they believe their communication skills are poor. It’s the people around them who do but never themselves. And btw, I have the credentials and experience to state this but don’t feel the need to convince anyone by stating them as a preemptive strike. So put that in your pipe and smoke it Ron!

I charge the state max fee of $10 per document and then a trip fee that varies depending on the distance and other factors. Tonight I charged $30 for the trip fee and $10 for the one notarization. Is this too much? Not in my opinion. I drove to a hospital and notarized at the bedside making an entire family happy and comfortable.

The person who spent $4 instead of $2 would have spent more in gas trying to finding another notary.

former notary
September 11th, 2010 at 11:10 pm

I served as a notary in GA since 1999 & took the rules & obligations of the profession very seriously. Most of my notary work was performed as part of my paralegal duties and I frequently consulted the handbook to ensure that I performed my duties correctly.

Recently, a parent passed away & I had to obtain a copy of the will from the attorney who drafted it. Said parent paid several thousand dollars for the privilege of using this attorney in 1995. Had the new estate attorney file it with the Probate Court, who rejected it because the law firm’s notary had notarized her own signature! I called his legal assistant for clarification & she informed me that it was a common practice & that “everyone used to do it until 2000 when this county’s court decided to start causing problems by rejecting wills notarized by one of the witnesses” (a self-proving affidavit to a will was developed 20 or so yrs. ago to avoid having to locate the witnesses & requiring them to appear before a court clerk or judge to testify as to the state of mind, etc. of the decedent).

In all my years as a notary, I never notarized my own signature & I both witnessed & notarized many wills–but not the same document. One of our functions is also to swear in the person signing if the document contains any reference to “swearing” (as in “sworn to”, etc. Most of the notaries I have watched or spoken with simply watch the client sing the document & sign after them–which can render the document invalid in a court, frequently with disastrous results.

I have spent approximately $1,000 to correct this careless error & have been delayed over a month in opening the Estate. When I notified the first attorney’s office that I expected reimbursement for the legal fees, I received no response. Since the error was committed knowingly & he made no effort to notify us that we would encounter problems when we had to probate either parent’s estate, he and his notary are both negligent. They made no effort to either correct the problem or offer compensation. I hope she has E & O insurance & that he has the time & money to hire a lawyer of his own to answer a Bar complaint.

Either perform your duties correctly (& I never charged for the service) or let your commission lapse. I chose to let mine lapse since many requests made of me were either a conflict of interest, in a grey area or illegal.

P.S. AAA advertises that they notarize members’ documents for free (you may, however, have to coach them in the oath).

I had an amazing interaction with a Notary today. I have recently injured my knee and am having surgery scheduled. My physician offered to provide me with the application for a temporary disability parking permit. His signature has to be notarized on this. The notary that works with them was off last week so he told me to just take it anywhere and get it notarized. I told him I thought that was not legal and he said he knows people that do it all the time. Well I talked to several notaries that are friends of mine and even being a personal friend, they refused because he was not present. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

So his notary is back this week. I had my neighbor go by their office to pick up the signed/notarized form – remember it’s HIS signature that has to be signed. Just before she got to the office the notary called to let me know that my document was ready and that there is a $15 fee for this. I asked what for, they are notarizing his signature, and she says but it’s for a document you need. The GA law says a MAX $2.00 per signature. She says it’s not like she gets the money, it goes to the physician’s office (who btw charged me a good bit for my visit last week). Since my doctor was not in the office right then, she wouldn’t notarize the form with his signature, instead she had gotten his partner to complete a new form and sign it and she notarized this one.

I was never told up front that there was a fee, and do not appreciate this woman using a form of extortion, ie if you want the form so you can get the permit you need then you have to give me 15.00. Who can I report them to? I will also be looking for a new doctor in the very near future.

I think your complaint should be toward the doctor in this case, not the notary. She didn’t charge you anything, the office did.

You actually got off easy, I went to a dr’s office once for a fertility specialist and that doctor had the nerve to charge the customer for an office visit, one that would not be covered by insurance!

Another one I did the doctor charged for an office visit too but she took the customers blood pressure to justify the charge and billed the insurance co.

I have been a notary for my office for 20 years. I very rarely charge for any notarization, even though the State of Ohio says I can charge $2.00 for each time I afix my seal to a document. But I don’t think that $4.00 is to much to charge even though it is over the amount allowed. You are paying for the convenience of not having to run all over town to look for a notary. I have refused to notarize some documents as they were improperly completed, no ID (How dare I ask for photo id!) or already signed before they came in and I know the people were not happy. But since I don’t charge anyway, it is not worth the risk. Once I retire from my job in two years, I will let mine expire. Its just not worth the trouble.

October 28th, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Sir I am a investigator in GA where you indicate the fee is $2.00. You are correct but completely misleading. You should have read the actual law regarding Notery fees. While it is a little confusing I will try to make since of it for you.

In GA a nortery may charge $2.00 to sign per page. If the document requires an oath another $2.00 fee can be added and they are allowed by law to charge $2.00 to be present. So in fact they could charge $6.00 max. In addition they can charge a service fee of their choosing as well as for travel and any extra services required. On avarage my experiance indicates that most charge between $3.00- $5.00. However, I have seen fees as high as $10.00.

The only restriction is they must inform you of said fees in advance of any actions taken. So if fact you get a good deal being charged $4.00.

If you want to inform the public honestly, read all of the information and relay it in that fashion.

Aspiring Notary
November 14th, 2010 at 10:51 pm

In order to complement my income I recently went through the process of registering for the training class, paying necessary fees, attending class and test, fees for test, getting supplies. I am in California. I have already spent $350 and am waiting to be a notary soon. I have also started wondering if it is worth it.
As an example the amount of cash and time (about 40 hours at $10 an hour) I have spent, will require more than 75 notarizations to recover the cost even. In California you need to go through a full renewal process every 4 years.

I would like to say that after attending the classes and test, I am amazed at the complexity and responsibility of the service which is expected from a notary. I think it is ridiculous to offer these services for free or at a small fee. Unless government makes these fees reasonable, you will find that high quality people will leave this field.

It is easy to say that one signature is costing too much($10).
Even one signature can become a long process. We need to take into account the interruption caused by one signature and infrastructure required to support a notary.

After reading cheap and mean comments from many members of public above I can see that people do not appreciate this service unless it is free. I am having second thoughts to cut my losses now if I am going to meet people who have commented above and crying for spending $2 or $4.
These are probably same people who will have no problem paying $300 to $500 per hour to an attorney.

Looking at the amount of knowledge necessary to keep up to date and understand intricacies of the law, notaries should jointly ask for justice and get the minimum notarization fees in California increased to $25.

I would suggest members above who do not like to pay, consider looking into the process of becoming a notary, try reading the book on state laws regarding the service and see if they can understand the complexity and responsibility of this service before making such comments.

Right thing will be to support notaries to get the reasonable prices approved by their respective states.

I always felt Maryland’s fee was a bit low, barely worth the notary’s time, but Florida is way over what I feel is an appropriate fee given the minute and a half of their time it takes! Next time I’ll do the notary when I’m back in Maryland visiting family … yikes!

To Aspiring Notary,

You are absolutely correct. I was looking into becoming a Notary Public because I do document preparation. The start up costs of $350.00 to $500.00 plus the level of legal responsibility/liability of knowing if the document utilizes the appropriate notarizing format, and if not, supplying the correct one. The requirements of, purchasing 2 bonds (expense), taking a mandated refresher course prior to each renewal (expense+time) renewing license every 4 years (expense), and minimum yearly reviews of new laws (time), coupled with the restriction of $10.00 per signature and the negative comments of most of the writers on this blog who don’t seem to understand the first thing about being a Notary Public, I have decided it’s just not worth it. It seems everybody wants something for nothing. Yes, I think that California should raise the fees to $20.00 or $25.00.

Everybody wants something for nothing.

Why would anyone do this for a petty fee? Customer service or convenience for an existing clientele only.

I haven’t read all the responses but I have a good one for you. Way back 30 years ago when I first became a notary I had to study from a book and take a test and if I failed the I would not have been able to become a notary. Well I passed the test and let me tell you it was hard and allot of people didn’t pass it. Well anyway when it came time to renew I had moved to a different county Oh by the way the testing county was Lake county Ohio I moved into Ashtabula county Ohio and when I went into renew there were people there getting their Notary Commission for the first time and all it took was them telling the Judge why they wanted to become a notary. (and In ashtabula county ohio anyone can become a Notary Public even an illegal alien –Person without a green card all they have to do is show up pay their money tell the judge why they want to be a notary wait for the form to come in the mail take it back into the court house have the judge sign it and vahla their a notary. Don’t believe me call the Clerk of courts for Ashtabula County Ohio and ask them…….

I have spent some time reading these posts and feel obligated to say this:

First, there is a specific charge per signature per page for every state. We know this already by all of the posts written.

Second, Mobile Notaries charges are different because of travel, convenience of service for holidays etc. We know this already by all of the post written.

What I have neglected to see in these posts is the responsibility of the Notary Public.

One comment was “why am I getting charged $10 for something that takes a few seconds of someone’s time”.
This is disturbing to me because I don’t believe most of the posters on this site realize the ethical responsibility and the legal responsibility a Notary has to his clients and community.

Some of you might want to look at your states laws that police the Notary Public and read them carefully then talk about what should be charged. Notaries put alot on the line when they sign their name and put their commission on a legal document.

I found this site interesting with a “National Code of Ethics” listed. You should read it. http://www.nationalnotary.org

One more thing, Notary Publics and Notary Signing Agents are different. Each title has different responsibilities.

Just saying!

Are you a Nurse .. well you should only be paid every time you interact with me as a patient.. If you are a bank teller again only when you interact with a customer… up to 4 dollars per customer per interaction. See where this is going.. You Object to paying for a notarys work..
Do you object tot the fee attorneys charge for their services .. Ie a legal letter…
Sorry people but those who complain are the spongers of society… constantly wanting something for nothing.. Think about what you are writing and look closely at the costs of the supplies the cost of becoming a notary and the cost of gas and car maintainance as the notary comes to you….. I am not a notary I went to one today and was charged $4 I was truely expecting $25 and wouldnt have objected to paying that as I needed the notary

I charge the state max fee of $10 per document and then a trip fee that varies depending on the distance and other factors. Tonight I charged $30 for the trip fee and $10 for the one notarization. Is this too much? Not in my opinion. I drove to a hospital and notarized at the bedside making an entire family happy and comfortable.

I know of a couple of real estate title companies in my hometown that offer free notary services to real estate agents. (It helps if you’ve done business with them before, and/or are intending to close a sale at their office, and presumably…a real estate agent.)

I’ve gotten documents notarized at the grocery store, my travel agent’s office, the DMV (avoid them if you can), and even a few store clerks at the mall (I just asked at the front desk, and they happened to know of a few places that notarized documents.) Your results may vary.

I just learned Notary Publics actually have conventions. (I wonder if they’re like some of the wild conventions *I’ve* been to…)

Curious…

I live in Florida and everything is going higher and I expect to pay more up front with all which is going on with government. I do have a great bank which gives me free notary service. I also have the local power company which does the same for their customers. I had a neighbor go to a Sheriff’s sub station today and the Sheriff’s dept. charged her for notary service. I don’t have a problem if the county gets this money but I believe a county employee which just happens to be a notary is notorizing while on the job as a dispatcher. This seems to me to be unethical and wrong. I would like to know and will contact tomorrow the main Sheriff’s office in Ocala Florida and ask what the official policy is at the Sheriff’s office. We pay these peoples wages and MANY police related notarized documents go through the office of the Sheriff.

I was considering becoming a notary since only one is listed locally in the phone book. Decades ago there were several which included located in businesses like grocery stores and barber shops! Then I discovered that there’s several here except they’re all mobile notaries and all do electronic signings. Talked to the only man listed and he said being mobile is the only way to earn a decent buck for the service rendered since many banks do it for free. He also stated that you better be educated about the various documentation you verify because the preparers often screw up by mistake or on purpose for devious reasons. He’s a retired military lawyer so has a good grasp of all the legal mumbo jumbo.
He suggested that I find an unserved niche in the home improvement field and persue that instead since that should provide a better income without the legal liabilities a notary encounters.

No matter how “high” any of these fees may seem to be in any State in the USA, please you should feel blessed. I recently refinanced my home and needed 5 pages of the documents notarized. I was in Sweden on business at the time of the closing and had the documents emailed to me to print and sign and have notarized; In Sweden there is only one Notary in a given commune (county) and they wanted 250 crowns per signature; that’s $40 USD, so $200 to have my loan papers Notarized in Sweden. I then turned to the US Embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark (only .30 minutes away). The Notary at the embassy wanted $50 USD per signature, or $250 for all 5 signature pages….. So if your Notary charges you $4 or $10 a seal …. enjoy it.

September 8th, 2011 at 2:31 pm

WOW! I am amazed.. and confused. Okay let me get this correct this is a site complaining about price of a Notarial act that only cost $4.00 dollars. As you can tell I am in California. So, Time and Travel should not be charged. Or the cost to operate should be free. Amazing … I became a notary for my job.. now that I am laid off I decided to do it for a living. I have spent well over $1,000 dollars for supply, renewing my commission, education, licensing advertising and stuff like that. I made only about $800.00 in about a 8 month time span. So, are you asking if you all think Notarial Services should be free.. why do you not complain to get rid of all the Notaries and go to your State Secretary’s office and ask them to Notarize your documents. Not mentioning here in California your State Secretary’s office is only Sacramento so you would have a good 9 hour drive getting there if you lived in San Diego. I can assure you they will not do that for you.. That is why they find people like us..

We pay taxes just like you do for owning and operating a business even if your employed your employer takes the taxes right of your check for you. Not to mention we have to be very careful because of Liability issues.. I am shocked how many people asked me to do illegal stuff.. and I just refuse. The cost in that would be a fortune on me or jail time. Do you think I want to go to jail for you.. no thank you.

So are most of you on here demanding that we work for free.. Why do you not go to your employer and ask them if you can work for free. In fact if you have a special skill that you specifically go educated for and are proud of.. then I bet that would mean your skill is worth $0.

Price of Gas a lone in the car to drive around for a day could easily cost you up to 15.00 dollars. I charge a 20.00 travel fee and 10.00 per signature. But what if I go to your home and all the signers are not there and you have me sit around your house for an one hour waiting on that person. Oh, wait I had this happen I went to a signing and the people did not have the paper work.. did I get paid my travel fee.. no, I did not. I got a call later asking me to come back.. the paper was not complete and I had to wait around until the completed it.

The law says if your work calls you in that day and you get there and they decided they do need you well then you get paid still.. What about the Notaries. I have heard where they got stiffed plenty of times.

I have been lucky all my clients are happy that I am able to travel to them. I have gotten calls though that people really do expect my services for free.. they do not like my prices.. they are lucky I do not live in another area that would charge even double of what I charge.

If you will not work for free.. please do not expect us to do the same .. our boss is the Secretary of State or title means we are reputable people with integrity and we are tax paying citizens too.. If you think the Change that was promised to you mean all services are free.. rethink that.. common sense would tell you nothing is free in this world.

Wow! Who knew this little post would generate such a heated discussion! Hats off to Nick!

I always just go to my bank because it’s the easiest place to find a notary, and they don’t charge me for the service. And to the critic who says they get it my checking account fees, I get that free, too. (They get their money from my mortgage, and from loaning my checking account balance to other people at interest). But that’s how business works in the real world. The banker becomes the go-to guy on little things like notarizing a car title and free checking so that he’ll get my mortgage business later. After all, the truth is he has my mortgage business because of this very prior business relationship.

As far as all the people complaining about people wanting notary services for free, if you got into notary to make a profit, your business model had better include competing against people who will be notarizing for free. If you got into it as an add-on service to your customers, than you should probably be seeing it as relationship building exercise. If you’re like #28 and are seeing no benefit from it, maybe it just isn’t a good fit for your business or, just maybe, your customers just aren’t having a good relational experience and are going somewhere else for their shipping needs because they don’t like you.

Actually it’s per signature. A notary can charge for other fee’s like travel expenses, costs of paper, ink etc. The NOTARY cost for signatures depends on your state. California is $ 10.00 but if I come to you I will charge a travel fee. If I have to print out loan doc’s I will charge you the cost of the paper as well. If I sit at a deposition for hours, I can charge for my time. Each state has different requirments

This is a very simple fix people. I see people complaining at each other over prices. it is simple…

For you consumers,
If you do not like the prices then do not go to that place; if you do not like the service, do not go to that place; if you are not sure, do all your research first and deal with it; if they are charging too much report it.

And for you notories out there;
The law is the law, regaurdless if you like it or not. If you do not like the minimum state laws then I would advise you to look at another profession. If notory is not your primary profession, then use it for the business you wanted it for and do not supply it to people other than the clients of your primary buisness. Remember, you are not much differant then all the rest of the working public who have to deal with rude or annoying customers, deal with it or stop doing business.
The cost of business is going up. yes, we all know that. Many businesses start cutting services because they could not charge more, be it the costs would not be sellable or because the laws limited it. Either way, stop getting disgruntled over it. Those of you notories know the law or at least should. I is in your best intrests to inform your customers of all those laws (and do it for free) prior to providing a chargeable service. With that said, notory fees aside, you have the legal right to charge what is needed to operate your business under the laws governing business practices under, operating expenses, only that it is provided an explaination of these charges incurred prior to notory services.

Those of you who do not like the prices then I would advise you to find out what it costs and what it is to become a notory. Then go and do that, that way you can notorize your own documents. however, I’m sure that may be illegal being a conflict of intrest. I am not quite sure, I am not a notory or lawyer.

Oh by the way every major car dealership has an onsite notory and most finance officers can notorize single page documents at no cost. I have met many who will do it free. also, If you are in the military or are a veteran. you can get these services done free and they will even type the documents up and prepare them with you.

Now, for the love of god, stop complaining everyone! and thank you Nick for your time to compile the information gathered but next time be more specific in your wording so these so called Notories out here will not decipher the words wrong. and for those of you (#37) with nothing constructive or helpfull to contribute. do us a favor crawl back under the rock you slithered from.

108.

Lonn
December 21st, 2011 at 4:20 pm

And a quick addition to my above statements.
For those of you who think a signiature is nothing. try signing up for the military. Your signiature is worth life and death.That signiature is worth millions to the military.

Your signiature is your word or bond and with out those you are nothing, try buying a car with your “Word” not like they will let you leave with that car.

I have been a notary for 11 years. I became one because of my job at the time of my original commission as a dispatcher for the sheriff’s department. I did not charge for my services as notarizing was a function of my job. I have, in the past, both charged for notary services, and given them away for free to acquaintances, or occasionally friends and family if there were no conflict of interest. I have charged for services on occasion, mainly to cover the travels or expenses involved. In other words, I broke even.

I say all of that just to establish, I suppose, why I would care about such a conversation.

My real reason for posting is this: Nick, are you out there? Are you still reading this? Do you know what a hotbed topic notaries and notary fees was and is? Did you know this juggernaut would tread on for over 4 years and counting?

Ok, lol! Notaries in Louisiana have to study for the civil law and real estate law sections of the state bar and pass! Not to mention the fee to take the exam is $200 (in 2005) probably more now. Louisiana notaries can draft cash sales, bill of sales, wills, simple successions, affidavits, power of attorneys, mortgages and more! So if you live in Louisiana, a notary has the power to draft and notarize most civil law documents. The cost is not limited because of the extent of knowledge you have to maintain to adequately perform the job here. Btw about 2 people out of every 100 that take the test pass it!

I make my living as a Notary Public and have been doing so for over 25 years. As a civil law (non-attorney) notary of Louisiana, I am required to draft wills, conveyance documents such as cash sales which include a metes and bounds property description, mortgages, mandates (powers of attorney) and of course title transfers. I am required to know when laws change so that I can offer my clients the service they are paying for. I have both E & O insurance and a surety bond, neither was free. In June 2011, almost 700 people took the test to become a notary in Baton Rouge and less than 10 passed.

We have no fee guidelines but of course, our clients are free to call around to compare. I charge $25 for a title transfer (minimum) and $125 to draft and notarize wills. I charge $10 for a basic Affidavit if it doesn’t include any witnesses or additional prep. I have a good reputation and LOTS of repeat customers and I take lots of pride in my work.

Another thing…if you decide to become a notary, be sure to use a computer that has a spell check. There is nothing worse than a notary that can’t compose a sentence or spell correctly, at least in my book.

One thing I would like to note:
I can say this for sure about Georgia, and I have the distinct impression that it applies across the country, it is illegal for a Notary PUBLIC to refuse on the basis of somebody not being a client. This includes banks, lawyer’s offices, whomever. If any member of the public comes to you with a reasonable and lawful request, and you can find no legitimate fault (i.e. the person is not in their right mind, the document is not correct, etc) you are required to notarize it for them by law.

Also, to those who can’t figure out the purpose of this thread, it has nothing to do with the actual price of the Notarial services, and everything to do with ILLEGAL activities of Notaries Public charging more than State Legislated maximums for their services. Granted there may be other fees associated with a Notarization (paperwork, travel, etc.), but most states REQUIRE these to be posted for the public to see before you engage in a Notarial Act. I would advise anybody charging any of these “extra” fees to consult with somebody legally aware before actually doing so, as charging an amount not allowed by law can get you in some SERIOUS trouble.

One last thing, the maximum amount to be charged for a Notarization in Georgia is technically $4, $2 for the notarization and $2 “for an attendance to make proof as a notary public and certifying to same if such certification, which shall be issued by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the notary public was appointed or the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority, is required. (O.C.GA. 45-17-11)” Or, as the Superior Court Clerks paraphrase it: “The authorized fee is $2.00 for each notarial act. The Notary may, upon request of the person asking for notary service, charge an additional $2.00 for providing a certificate from the Clerk of Superior Court of the effectiveness of the notary commission.”

I am amazed at many of the comments I see here. Everyone’s best bet, regardless of which state you are in, is to check your state’s website for information. It is true that notaries can be found at shipping places and banks as well as a variety of other places. True notary public fees are minimal, based on the number of pages, signature witnessing, deposition paperwork or other oaths, etc. Ask the notary what their fee is for the service you need. If you are not compfortable withthe fee that a notary plan to charge, go elsewere and get the service done.

Here in mass the fees vary from 1.50 max to 2 dollars maximum, and yet my local shiping place charges up to 10 buck per page. i was looking at ordering notarial suppies as i had just recived my comission. there until i saw him swindle an old lady out of 60 bucks for 6 copies of a document notarized plus 2 bucks per page he copied. ALL totaled 72 bucks for about 8 minutes work. i walked up to the man, and he said may i help you to hich i told him how disgusting a human being he is, and he shrugged and said I gotta make a buck. so for all you, complainers about wah i dont make enough for this, wah. go to hell, youre breaking a law, and youre damn right i reported the man.

oh and to barbarar at comment 114, you have to understand the things you are talking about doing in your state would have almost all other notaries placd in jail for quite a long time, for praticing law without a license. You state you draft wills, i assume it is because louisiana is still usng napoleonic law unlike the rest of the country that some how alows you to do so. in no other state that i know of would that not be considered praciticng law without a license. Although thinking about it im not sure why it wouldnt affect you as well, as the U.S. SJC controls what is and isnt the poractice of law in the country. I am just about to graduate ( 3 weeks) as a paralegal, and its drilled into us whatis and isnt unlawful practice of law. actually im running off to my real estate law final in about an hour lol wish me luck.

I was thinking of becoming a Notary until I read this post. The fact that there is such as limit as .50, $2, $5 or $10 sickens me. You pay hundreds of dollars in setup costs, time in training and the legal risk that potentially can send your family into the streets make this job less then worth getting into. Then you read how these other comments are ignorant and think this should be a public service and not about profit. Well I hope you practice the same ideal and not attempt to ask for raises in your own job or pick a job based on better pay. If this should be a public service we should start having to pay taxes to employ someone to provide the service. This is a stupid post and feel my IQ has dropped reading it and the comments from other posters supporting it.

I am a California mobile notary and loan signing agent. I work very hard for my fee,(125.00 per signing) often I am up at the crack of dawn to meet with signers, run all over the area I serve, spend about a hour with each client going over their loan docs, I have a good grasp of what the docs say and mean( I don’t just hand paper over to sign,then stamp the deed). I have a good relationship with the title co. So if there is a problem I help the signers figure it out or get them in touch with the escrow officer. I walk into strangers houses(some are stranger than others), with a smile, even when the signer is in a bad mood(some people can be rude). I am highly trained and run my own business, and I love every minute of it! I don’t take advantage of people……I’m there to protect the public againt fraud and I have rules of conduct like any other court officer. I’m bonded carry insurance, and if i screw up I can be fined, sued(this is California after all)or even spend time in jail(that doesnt happen often,but still…yikes!)I am worth every dine of my fee Ask yourself, if your boss asked you to do a task for $10. Would you? So next time just pay the fee and thank the notary.

Or drinking beer, but they complian about the measely $2.oo charged by a notory for actually doing something. WOW!!!!. Next time go to store any store and see how far $2.00 go! It probabaly cost the notory atleast a $100 to become a notory and probably $50 a year just to remain so. A notary would have to perform 50 notarizations to recover his/her initial cost and anoth 25 each year to cover annual cost. MOST NOTORIES ARE NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!. And if you really feel inclined, COMPLIAN, you will be rewarded triple the overcharge. In this case the notory will be asked to reimburse you 3 times the $2.oo overcharge, if it was indeed an overcharge. So after all the paperwork and wasting your time and notory’s time, it may be worth half an hour at the minimum wage in your state. OH YEAH GO BONKERS!
(How much gas would you have wasted driving over to your bank where you could have gotten a “FREE” notory?

I enjoyed reading it. I’m supposed to be somewhere else in a minute but I stuck to reading the story.
