๐Ÿ“ Understanding Common Texas Notary Acts & Fees (In-Person Services)

All notarizations are performed in accordance with Texas state law and are referred to as Notarial Acts.

A Notarial Act occurs when I apply my official stamp or seal to a notarial certificateโ€”the specific wording that identifies the type of notarization performed, such as:

  • โœ… Acknowledgment
  • โœ… Jurat (Oath or Affirmation)

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: One document may include multiple certificates, each requiring a separate notarial act and fee.

๐Ÿ’ต In-Person Notary Fee Schedule:

  • $10 per notarial act (each time a stamp is applied)
  • $1 for each additional signature on the same certificate

๐Ÿ“˜ Example:

Notarizing a promissory note with:

  • 4 notarial certificates โ†’ $10 x 4 = $40
  • 1 extra signer (e.g., a spouse) โ†’ $1 x 4 = $4

Total: $44


๐Ÿ’ป Remote Online Notarization (RON) Fees

Texas law allows notarizations to be performed entirely online via secure audio-video technology.

In addition to the standard notary fees, a Remote Online Notarization (RON) includes a state-approved technology fee.

๐ŸŒ RON Fee Schedule:

  • $25 per online notarization (technology fee)
  • $10 for the first signature on a notarial act
  • $1 for each additional signature on the same certificate

๐Ÿ’ก Example:

A document signed online with:

  • 1 notarial act โ†’ $10
  • 1 additional signer โ†’ $1
  • Remote notarization โ†’ $25

Total: $36
