Notary Fees

Welcome to Expert Notary Services, where we believe in providing transparent and fair pricing for our notary services. As a responsible notary public business owner, it's crucial to shed light on the intricacies of our pricing structure to ensure our clients fully understand the value they receive. In this blog post, we'll delve into the key aspects of notary fees, special considerations for specific documents, and why choosing a mobile or remote-online notary might be the game-changer you've been searching for.

Basic Notary Fees

In the realm of notary services, there's a statutory limit to how much we can charge for our notary seal in the State of Texas. The maximum fee for one notary seal is $10. However, it's important to note that if there are additional signers on the same document, an extra charge of $1 per additional signer will apply. This ensures that our clients are aware of the straightforward pricing structure for standard notary services. In simple terms, each time a notary seal is placed, there is a $10 charge.

Special Considerations for Loan Documents

When it comes to notarizing loan documents, the pricing structure takes a different path. The intricacies involved in handling loan paperwork necessitate a specialized approach. Although all Loan Signing Agents (LSA) are Notary Publics, not all Notary Publics are an LSA. There are significant differences, including but not limited to; extensive training, undergoing a thorough background check as we are privy to your personal information, and we are equipped to explain each document to you to ensure you have a thorough understanding of what you are signing. To better serve our clients, we have a tailored fee structure for notarizing loan documents, ensuring that the complexities of these transactions are duly accounted for. This is your home, whether buying or selling, and you want to ensure complete accuracy.

Navigating Estate Planning Documents: Additional Fees or Packages

Estate planning, wills, power of attorneys, Transfer on Death Deed, documents hold significant importance, and the notarization process is no exception. At Expert Notary Services, we offer flexibility when it comes to estate planning notarizations. Additional fees may apply depending on the nature and complexity of the documents involved. Alternatively, we provide the option to package multiple documents together, streamlining the notarization process and potentially saving our clients on overall costs.

Convenience at Your Doorstep: Mobile Notary Fees

At Expert Notary Services, we understand that time is of the essence, and convenience is paramount. For clients who prefer notary services at their doorstep, (home/office/Target parking lot), we offer the flexibility of a mobile notary and the minimum fee for mobile notary services begins at $35. This includes the cost of one notary seal on the document. Expert Notary Services provides options such as printing the documents for you, immediately scanning to you at the appointment or delivering it to an alternate location. The fee may vary depending on factors like distance, location (such as a hospital or correctional facility), and the time of day.

Notarizing in the Digital Age: Online Convenience

In the age of technology, notarizing documents has become even more convenient. Our clients can choose to notarize documents online, right from the comfort of their homes, using their smartphones or tablets. This modern approach to notarization saves time and offers unparalleled convenience, making the process efficient and hassle-free. The minimum fee for remote-online notary service is $35 in Texas. If witnesses are required, an additional fee will be incurred.

Why Choose a Mobile Notary Over Free Bank Services

While banks may offer notary services for free, the trade-off often lies in limited availability and the inconvenience of scheduling. Choosing a mobile notary from Expert Notary Services ensures that you get the services you need when and where you need them. The added flexibility, personalized service, and time-saving convenience make the nominal additional fee well worth the investment.

In conclusion, our commitment at Expert Notary Services is to provide clear and fair pricing structures, ensuring that our clients are fully informed about the costs associated with our notary services. Whether opting for traditional notarization or embracing the convenience of mobile or online services, we strive to make the notarization process seamless and accessible for all.
