A Notary Public is an official appointed by a state government to serve as an impartial witness in the signing of important documents and administer oaths. The cost of utilizing a Notary varies depending on the location and services requested, but generally includes fees such as a notarization fee, an identification fee, a travel fee and any other accepted fees allowed under state law. Collectively, these fees are known as the Cost of Notary Public. Having your document notarized helps protect against fraud and can be used as legal proof in courts of law. It also ensures that all parties involved are identified and lawfully present when signing any legal documents.
