A Notary Public is an important public official appointed by the state to authenticate signatures, administer oaths, and witness signatures on documents. As such, they often charge a fee for their services. Generally speaking, a fee for notary public is the cost charged by the notary to perform necessary legal duties that are guaranteed by law. This fee can vary depending on the type of document being notarized, but typically ranges anywhere from $5-$50. Fees for more specialized services may also be higher. Nonetheless, with the help of a notary public, individuals can protect themselves and their property in a legally binding way.
