Fees
I do not invoice for notarial services. Payment is due upon my arrival and before I notarize your document(s).
I offer a significant discount to United States Military Veterans and First Responders. Please advise me when you make initial contact if you fall under this classification.
Outside of the travel fee, the fees a notary can charge are regulated by Texas law (Texas Government Code §406.024). If you are charged more than these, you have the right to file a complaint with the Texas Secretary of State.
Unlike many other mobile notaries, I publish my rates so that you know up front what you can expect to pay for my services. Some Notaries that we have had the displeasure to associate with would change their rates based upon their attitude for that day. Mine are on full display!
No fee will be charged unless we have discussed the fees and have an agreement.

These are the fees I charge for traveling to your location:
Travel Service | Fee |
|---|---|
Travel (plus mileage) | $50.00 |
Mileage | $0.75 / Mile |
My travel fee is $50.00 plus $0.75 per mile in excess of 20 miles from my home to your location, round trip, unless we have a scheduled notarization within 10 miles of your location. I will plot the most efficient route using Google Maps as I have found it to be the most accurate. I will also document the actual mileage. Should I travel more than what I quote you, you will only pay that amount that you are quoted, unless you call and change the location, at which time I will re-quote you a new rate if necessary.
The travel fee will be due regardless if I do not perform the notarization due to an error on your part. These errors could be that you do not have proper identification, your documents are not ready, etc., unless you call and cancel your appointment more than 3 hours prior to your appointment.
These additional fees may apply depending on where we need to meet to facilitate the notarization of your document(s).
