Estimate Your Notary Cost
How This Calculator Works
The calculator uses three data sources:
- Statutory fee cap — the maximum per-signature or per-act fee your state allows, sourced from the official statute or Secretary of State website (verified June 2026).
- Mobile travel surcharge — a market-rate range of $25–$75, representing typical daytime travel fees for appointments within approximately 20 miles. This is not regulated by state law.
- RON platform fee — the typical per-session price charged by online notarization platforms ($15–$50 as of June 2026, based on published pricing from Notarize/Proof, NotaryLive, and OnlineNotary).
The formula is shown directly in the calculator results panel so you can see exactly how the estimate was computed and adjust any variable that does not match your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
For in-person notarizations, the calculator applies the verified statutory maximum per signature for your state (sourced from the official Secretary of State or statute database). For mobile service, it adds a typical travel surcharge of $25–$75 (market rate — not regulated). For online RON, it shows the typical platform fee range of $15–$50 per session.
We have individually verified the statutory cap for Texas, California, Florida, New York, and Illinois. All other states show an editable default of $10 — that is a reasonable ballpark for many states, but you should verify your state's actual cap on your Secretary of State website before relying on it.
No — it is an estimate based on statutory maximums. The actual amount depends on the individual notary, their pricing, travel distance, urgency, and any additional services. Statutory caps are the legal ceiling; many notaries charge less, especially at banks and libraries where notarization is often free.
Generally, each signature requiring a notarial certificate counts as one act. A document with three signatures each requiring notarization = three notarial acts. Some states (like Texas) charge less for additional signatures on the same instrument ($1 each after the first $10).
For a basic estimate, yes. Select your state, choose "Mobile" (loan signings are almost always mobile), and enter the total number of notarized signatures in the package. Note that professional loan signing agents often charge $75–$200 per appointment — a flat rate that covers travel, expertise, and time regardless of the number of signatures.
