Texas Notary Fees — Legal Maximums
Last updated: May 13, 2026
Under Texas Government Code § 406.024, a Texas notary public may charge no more than the following statutory maximums for each notarial act. These are the legal caps — not our prices for any other service.
| Notarial Act | Max Fee |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgment or proof — first signature | $10.00 |
| Acknowledgment or proof — each additional signature | $1.00 |
| Administering an oath or affirmation (with certificate & seal) | $10.00 |
| Jurat (sworn statement before a notary) | $10.00 |
| Certifying a copy (per certified copy) | $10.00 |
| All other notarial acts (per act) | $10.00 |
| Protests — protest of a bill or note for non-acceptance/non-payment | $4.00 |
| Protests — each notice of protest | $1.00 |
| Protests — protesting in all other cases | $4.00 |
| Online notarization — first electronic acknowledgment / jurat | $25.00 |
| Online notarization — each additional acknowledgment / jurat | $25.00 |
Our travel fee is separate — and is the only amount charged upfront
The fees above are the maximum we may charge for the notarial act itself. Those notarial fees are paid on-site at the appointment via Square (card-present or Square invoice link) — we do not accept cash, and we will not apply the notary seal until the notarial fee is paid. The only amount we collect upfront at booking is the mobile travel fee, which varies by destination:
| Destination | Travel Fee |
|---|---|
| Home / Office / School | $45.00 |
| Hospital (bedside) | $75.00 |
| Jail / Detention Center | $150.00 |
| Online (Remote Notarization) | $0.00 |
Hospital and jail rates reflect parking, security clearance, and extended wait time and are consistent with prevailing Texas mobile-notary market rates. Travel fees may vary for locations outside our core service area and are non-refundable once our agent is en route.
Healthcare directives & medical POA
We notarize signatures on healthcare directives, advance directives, living wills, and medical powers of attorney that you bring to the appointment. Each act is billed at the statutory $10 in-person (or $25 RON) maximum. We do not draft these documents or give legal advice — please obtain the form from your attorney, your hospital, or the Texas Health and Human Services website before your appointment.
Important
- We are a notary public — not an attorney. We cannot draft documents, select the type of notarial act for you, or give legal advice.
- All signers and witnesses must present a valid, non-expired government-issued photo ID.
- See our Cancellation Policy for refund and reschedule terms.
