How the mobile notary fee calculation works

What a mobile notary can charge: your state's legal maximum per notarial act times the number of signatures, plus travel and any other services, with each state's maximum taken from its official statute or Secretary of State.

  1. Find your state's maximum

    California allows up to $15 per signature for an acknowledgment. Some states cap per notarial act, per person or per document, and a few set no cap.

  2. Count the notarial acts

    Two signers on one acknowledgment in California is 2 × $15 = $30 of notarial fees.

  3. Add travel and other services

    A $25 trip charge brings the total to $55. Many states require you to agree travel fees in advance and list them separately.

  4. Keep the fees separate

    Show the notarial fees, travel and any printing or after-hours charges as separate lines on the receipt and in your journal.

Worked example. A mobile notary in California notarizing two signatures charges up to $30 in notarial fees (2 × $15). With a $25 travel fee, the total is $55.

Mobile Notary Fee FAQ

How much can a mobile notary charge?

The notarial fee can't exceed your state's legal maximum per act, but many states let a mobile notary add a travel fee, often only if it's agreed in advance and listed separately. Pick your state above to see its rules.

How much does a mobile notary cost?

The notarial part is capped by state law: verified maximums range from $2 per act in Georgia to $25 per document in Rhode Island, and some states set no cap. A mobile notary adds a travel fee and any service fees on top, so in California two signatures at $15 plus a $25 trip charge come to $55.

Are California notary fees going up?

Yes. AB 1597, signed June 30, 2026, raises California's maximum for an acknowledgment or jurat from $15 to $20. It takes effect on January 1, 2027 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2026). Until then the calculator uses $15.

Can a notary charge for travel?

Often, yes, within your state's rule: some cap it at the IRS mileage rate, some require agreement in advance, and Connecticut sets $0.35 a mile. The rule for your state is shown with the result.

Are loan signing fees notary fees?

No. A loan signing agent is paid for handling and returning the loan package; only the notarial acts themselves are limited by the state fee cap.

Should a mobile notary charge travel by the mile or a flat fee?

Either works where your state allows a travel fee, unless the state sets the method: Connecticut allows $0.35 a mile, and some states cap travel at the IRS or federal mileage rate. Quote the travel fee before the trip and show it as its own line, separate from the notarial fee.

Why isn't my state listed?

We only list a state once its maximum is confirmed on the state's own statute or Secretary of State page. For other states, choose "Other state" and enter your fee, and check your Secretary of State's notary page.
