Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a notary public charge?
In-office notary fees are typically $2-15 per signature (set by state law). Mobile notary fees are higher at $75-200 per appointment due to travel. Remote Online Notarization (RON) typically costs $25-50 per session plus per-signature fees.
What is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?
RON allows documents to be notarized via video call. The signer and notary connect through a secure platform, verify identity digitally, and the notary applies an electronic seal. Most states now permit RON, though requirements vary.
When do I need a mobile notary vs going to an office?
Mobile notaries are ideal for real estate closings, hospital/nursing home signings, or when multiple signers at different locations are involved. In-office is cheapest for simple documents. RON is most convenient for straightforward notarizations when all parties have internet access.
