Florida Notary Fees
Charge only the legal notarial fee for each act, and list travel and other services separately on the receipt. Loan signing agent fees for handling a loan package are separate from the notarial fees.
How the Florida notary fees calculation works
What a Florida notary may charge: up to $10 for any one notarial act under §117.05, up to $25 for an online notarization under §117.275, and when no fee is allowed.
In person: $10 per notarial act
The fee may not exceed $10 for any one notarial act, such as an acknowledgment or a jurat. Two acts is up to $20.
Online: up to $25
An online notary or their employer may charge up to $25 for an online notarial act. A RON service provider's own fees aren't governed by this section.
No fee for vote-by-mail ballots
A notary may not charge to witness a vote-by-mail ballot and must witness one when an elector asks.
List travel separately
§117.05 doesn't set travel fees; agree any travel charge in advance and keep it separate from the notarial fee.
Worked example. A Florida notary performing two notarial acts may charge up to $20 (2 × $10). An online notarization can be up to $25.
