If the signer has the documents and brings them to you, then there are no travel or printing fees so you will need to make sure you don't charge more than the notary fees allowed by your state.
Unless you have to travel to the meeting location - ie: you would not normally be at your office or the agreed meeting location at the time requested.

Everything depends on what state you're in. But the general concept is that if a state specifies a fee for notarizing documents, that fee is just for the notarization. Printing is always a separate fee, which is unregulated and negotiated. Travel is also a separate fee, and in most states is unregulated, but a few states put a cap on travel fees.
Some notaries fill out their tax returns in a way that their notary fees don't count as income for social security taxes, but do count them for income and other taxes. Talk to a tax professional to see if this is right for you, and how to do it. Those notaries need to keep track of how much is notary fees and how much is other fees. Other notaries could just figure the notarizations are free and the fee is for printing and travel.
If the signer has the documents and brings them to you, then there are no travel or printing fees so you will need to make sure you don't charge more than the notary fees allowed by your state.

Hey all!
Excuse the question if it sounds stupid but I'm a little confused about charging a flat-rate for loan docs. Is it legal to charge for example $150 for a set of loan documents even though there aren't 15 signatures that you're notarizing. And then, does anyone have any suggestions about the type of printer and toner cartridge that gives the best cost per print? The toner for some of these laser printers are VERY expensive.
I've found a website (www.pixeltoners.com) that sells "compatible" toner cartridges; it's like a 3rd party production of the same toner cartridge for "up to 75% off the original price."
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance! |
