A schedule outlining the fees charged for a mobile notary’s services, which includes notarization and travel to a client’s location, offers clarity and predictability in transaction costs. This listing often specifies charges per signature, mileage expenses, and any additional fees for after-hours or weekend appointments. Such a document may present, for instance, a base notarization fee of $10 per signature, plus $0.50 per mile traveled, with an additional $25 surcharge for appointments outside of standard business hours.
The availability of a published fee structure provides several advantages. It allows clients to budget effectively for necessary legal and business transactions. Furthermore, it promotes transparency and trust between the notary and the individual seeking services. Historically, fixed fees set by local governments for basic notarizations offer a baseline, while additional charges for travel reflect the convenience of on-demand, location-specific services.
