What's the maximum notary fee in Arizona?

Arizona notaries can charge up to $10 per notarial act under Arizona Revised Statutes §41-264. The cap was raised from $2 to $10 by SB 1239, effective in 2018 — the first significant increase in over two decades.

The $10 cap applies per act, not per signature. If a single document requires the notary to perform two separate acts (e.g., one acknowledgment and one jurat), each is capped at $10. Travel fees for mobile service are not capped by §41-264 and must be disclosed and agreed in advance. Charging more than the statutory limit is a violation that can result in commission suspension or revocation.

Mobile notary travel fees in Arizona

Arizona does not cap mobile travel fees by statute. The $10 per-act limit under §41-264 applies only to the notarial act itself; travel is market-rate and must be disclosed and agreed in advance.

Typical travel fees by Arizona region:

Loan signing fees in Arizona

An Arizona loan-signing package (refi, purchase, HELOC) typically runs $125–$200 total. Each notarization within the package is capped at $10 per act. Most AZ refi packages have 6–12 acknowledgments/jurats, so statutory notarization fees total $60–$120 of the signing agent's full fee. The remainder covers travel, printing 100–200 pages, and scanback.

Remote Online Notarization (RON) in Arizona

Arizona authorized RON in 2019 under §41-264 and the Arizona Secretary of State's electronic notary rules. RON notarial acts follow the same $10 fee cap, but RON platforms charge a separate technology fee. Most consumer RON sessions total $25–$45 all-in. RON is valid for most documents accepted by Arizona courts, government agencies, and lenders — but check with the receiving party for documents requiring an apostille or wet ink signature (e.g., some real estate deeds in non-RON states).

How much does a mobile notary actually cost in Arizona?▾
In Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, and Glendale, expect $75–$175 total ($10 per act + $65–$165 travel). Smaller AZ cities (Yuma, Flagstaff, Prescott) typically run $50–$125. Weekend, evening, and rush visits typically add $25–$75.
What is the Arizona fee for a loan signing?▾
Each notarial act in the loan package caps at $10. A typical Arizona loan signing has 6–12 acknowledgments/jurats, so statutory notarization fees total $60–$120. The signing agent's full fee (travel, printing, scanback) typically totals $125–$200. Title companies usually set the price.
Where can I get free notarization in Arizona?▾
Most Arizona banks (Chase, Wells Fargo, BofA, Desert Financial, OneAZ Credit Union) and credit unions notarize free for account holders. AAA Arizona branches offer free notary service to members. Many Arizona public libraries (Phoenix Public Library, Tucson-Pima Library) provide free notary service. Large AZ employers often have a notary in HR or legal.
What happens if an Arizona notary charges more than $10?▾
Overcharging is a violation of ARS §41-264 and can result in suspension or revocation of the notary's commission. Complaints are filed with the Arizona Secretary of State's Notary Public Division.
Can an Arizona notary refuse to notarize?▾
Yes. An Arizona notary must refuse if the signer cannot be properly identified, appears not to be acting voluntarily or competently, the document is incomplete, or the notarization would violate ARS §41-264 fee limits. Refusing for proper cause does not require a refund of the act fee if no act was performed.
