List of services for which a Notary Public can charge fees?
There are different kinds of policies and regulations for every state regarding the fees of the notaries and services a Notary Public can charge. Some of the common services that notaries can charge for are as follows:
Copies
Notaries, for fixed fees, can also certify copies of specified documents. Some states enable notaries only to certify copies of power of attorney, whereas some states allow certification of other materials or documents as well. The original document, along with copies of documents, must be present in front of the notary for comparison purposes. Most notaries make their copy and certify it rather than comparing each word with the original. In some states, notaries keep a journal or copies of notarial acts. The general public can view or access a copy of the journal by making a request to the Secretary of State or courts and providing specific information in writing.
SAFEBOX has made this entire process easy and accessible for everyone. Notaries, instead of creating a new copy or comparing word by word, can use SAFEBOX to check for document integrity.
Notarizations
Generally, Secretary of State’s office regulates and fixes the fees of notaries. The fees are priced per signature requiring notarization for jurats, acknowledgments, affidavits and certain forms. If you have a 10-page document having eight signature lines, but you need only one page to be notarized, then the notary should charge you for only one notarization. However, notaries can charge additional fees for non-notarial related expenses such as travel, printing and post-signing requests.
Presentation of Documents
Generally, a lender or title insurer will hire a notary public for gathering and presenting signatures on various real estate documents. They will facilitate paying the notary for the notarization as well as the presentation of the papers.
Oaths and Affirmations
Oaths and affirmations are part of a jurat. Jurat is the regular notarial form. Notary Publics may charge for each oath or affirmation per document. If you have two affidavits needing oaths from two different affiants, then the notary will charge you for four oaths or affirmations.
Travel
There are no additional charges if you travel to the office of the notary. However, if the notary goes to your place, then the notary can charge you for the travel time. Most states do not have any specific regulations regarding travel charges. It would be best if you always ask the notary upfront for these additional charges.
Every state has specific rules and regulations regarding the additional charges and fees of notaries. You should always ask and understand all these charges before appointing the notary.
With SAFEBOX, many of the additional expenses and risks of remote signings could be removed.
