Business Growth
Building Your Notary Business
From commission to customers — pricing, marketing, and growing your notary income.
Setting Your Fees
State law sets maximum fees for notarial acts. But your travel fee is usually not regulated — this is where mobile notaries make their money.
Typical pricing structure:
- Notarial act: $5–$15 per signature (state maximum)
- Travel fee: $25–$75 (based on distance)
- After-hours/urgent: additional surcharge
- Loan signings: $75–$200 per package

To become a loan signing agent you typically need:
- An active notary commission
- A background screening
- Training and certification (NNA, LSS, or similar)
- Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance
