i will spend my time in this site

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.

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?

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.

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.
