๐ 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 certificateโthe specific wording that identifies the type of notarization performed, such as:
- โ Acknowledgment
- โ Jurat (Oath or Affirmation)
๐ Note: One document may include multiple certificates, each requiring a separate notarial act and fee.
๐ต In-Person Notary Fee Schedule:
- $10 per notarial act (each time a stamp is applied)
- $1 for each additional signature on the same certificate
๐ 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
๐ป 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.
๐ 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
๐ก Example:
A document signed online with:
- 1 notarial act โ $10
- 1 additional signer โ $1
- Remote notarization โ $25
Total: $36
