Notary Public Fees: How Much Do They Cost?

If you need to have either a contract or other paper signed by a notary public, you will be expected to pay a modest fee. This may be paid upfront or when the transaction has been completed. So knowing ahead of time will help you to budget for the expense and prevent any delays in signing your papers.

When Fees Apply

Important papers, that include property deeds, loan papers, or certification to attest a copy of an original document was proved valid, will often have to be signed in the presence of a notary public, or notary for short.

A notary is someone that has been authorized by a county or state to verify anyone who signs a document are who they say they are, and, all signers are fully aware of what the contents of the papers is, in addition to attesting that they are not signing against their will.

Standard Fees

Notary fees depend on where you have the papers notarized. State law will often set the charges allowed, and notaries are only allowed to charge an amount that is up to that limit. Standard notary costs vary from $0.25 to $20 and are charged on a per-signature or per-person basis. In certain states, notaries are allowed to set their own fees. Mortgage closings will cost more than other papers.

Mobile notaries

Are able to also charge travel fees, in addition to their standard fees if they have to travel somewhere to get papers signed, however, some states do limit the maximum travel fee charged. In many cases those limits are generally low, however, in all cases, the cost has to be deemed “reasonable.” with many cases, the notary and the signer must agree on any travel fees before they meet to sign papers. If you are unaware of travel fees, ask the notary service before they come and to a designated place.
