Find a Florida notaryWhat's the maximum notary fee in Florida?
Florida notaries can charge up to $10 per notarial act (per signature) under Florida Statute §117.05(2)(b). This covers:
- Acknowledgments (the most common notarization)
- Jurats
- Oaths and affirmations
- Verifications on oath or affirmation
- Certified copies of documents
The fee is per signature notarized, not per document. If you need 3 signatures on one form, the cap is $30. For Remote Online Notarization (RON), the cap is higher — $25 per act under §117.275 — because of ID verification and video storage costs.

Mobile notary fees in Florida — the travel part
The $10 cap in §117.05 only applies to the notarial act. Florida law explicitly permits mobile notaries to charge a separate travel fee — but it has to be disclosed in writing before the service and agreed to by the signer. The Florida Governor's Reference Manual for Notaries specifically mentions this, and complaints for undisclosed travel fees can result in commission suspension.
Typical travel fee ranges in Florida:
- Under 10 miles: $25–$40
- 10–25 miles: $40–$65
- After hours / weekends: +$20–$50 surcharge
- Hospital / nursing home: often flat $75–$100 (includes extra time)
Loan signing fees in Florida
Refinance, purchase, and HELOC closings typically run $75–$200 in Florida. This includes printing (100–200+ pages), multiple notarizations (each at the $10 cap), travel, and scanback. Title companies and signing services set the price, not the notary. The $10/act rule still applies to each individual notarization within the package.
