Florida notary fees

Under Florida Statutes § 117.05(2)(a), a notary's fee may not exceed $10 for any one notarial act, except as provided in §§ 117.045 and 117.275. An online notary may charge up to $25 per online notarial act (§ 117.275). Notaries may not charge for witnessing a vote-by-mail ballot.

Fee caps

Any one notarial act (§ 117.05(2)(a))	up to $10
Online notarial act (§ 117.275)	up to $25
Witnessing a vote-by-mail ballot (§ 117.05(2)(b))	No fee

§ 117.275 also says fees for services other than notarial acts, including a RON service provider's services, aren't governed by that section.

Travel fees

§ 117.05(2)(a) doesn't address travel fees. Check the Florida Department of State's notary guidance before charging one.

Not covered: § 117.045 (the marriage ceremony fee exception) wasn't reviewed for this page.

Signing fees are different. The statute caps fees for notarial acts. The fee a signing company or title company pays you for handling a loan package is negotiated between you and that company, order by order. We don't publish “standard” or “average” signing fees; work out your own with the calculator.
