An Arizona notary may charge no more than $10 for a notarial act, with the maximums set by the Secretary of State in Ariz. Admin. Code R2-12-1102 under A.R.S. § 41-316. The calculator above returns the statutory ceiling for the act and number of acts you choose, broken down line by line so you can see exactly how the cap is built.
What are the maximum notary fees in Arizona?
Under Ariz. Admin. Code R2-12-1102(E) an Arizona notary may charge up to $10 to take an acknowledgment, up to $10 to take a jurat or verification on oath or affirmation, up to $10 to administer an oath or affirmation, and up to $10 per page to certify a copy. The figure is the same $10 for each act type, so the only thing that changes the total is how many acts you perform. Copy certification is the one act charged per page rather than per act.
Are these fixed prices or ceilings?
They are ceilings, not fixed prices. An Arizona notary may charge less than $10, or charge nothing at all. A notary may not charge or advertise a fee greater than the amount the Secretary of State has set by rule, so $10 is the most a notary is ever allowed to bill for the act itself. Any fee the notary charges must be disclosed to the customer before the act is performed.
Does Arizona charge more for electronic or remote notarization?
No. Arizona sets no separate, higher fee for an electronic or remote online notarization, so the same $10 per act ceiling applies whether the act is done on paper, electronically, or remotely. A remote notarization platform may charge its own technology service fee, but that is the vendor's charge and is not part of the statutory notarial fee.
Can an Arizona notary charge a travel fee?
Yes, but it is capped at the state rate. Under A.R.S. § 41-316(B) a notary who travels to perform an act may be paid an amount up to the mileage and per diem subsistence rates authorized for Arizona state employees, rather than an arbitrary trip charge. The travel charge is separate from the $10 notarial fee and should be agreed before the notary travels, and the notary must disclose any service fee to the customer in advance.
- $10 maximum per notarial act for acknowledgments, jurats and oaths under Ariz. Admin. Code R2-12-1102(E)(1) and (E)(3).
- $10 maximum per page for certifying a copy under R2-12-1102(E)(2).
- No extra statutory fee for electronic or remote acts: the same $10 cap applies.
- Travel may be charged up to the Arizona state mileage and per diem rate under A.R.S. § 41-316(B).
Common questions
How much can a notary charge in Arizona?
An Arizona notary may charge up to $10 per notarial act for an acknowledgment, jurat or oath, and up to $10 per page to certify a copy, under Ariz. Admin. Code R2-12-1102(E). The cap is the same $10 for each act type, so the total depends only on how many acts you perform.
Did Arizona notary fees change?
Yes. Arizona's current $10 per act schedule took effect by rulemaking on March 5, 2018, which also repealed the old $2 jurat rate. Any source still quoting $2 for a jurat is out of date: the current ceiling is $10 for every listed act.
Can an Arizona notary charge more for a remote online notarization?
No. Arizona does not set a separate, higher fee for electronic or remote online notarization, so the same $10 per act maximum applies. A remote platform may add its own technology fee, which is the vendor's charge and not the statutory notarial fee.
Can an Arizona notary charge a travel fee?
Yes, but only up to the state rate. Under A.R.S. § 41-316(B) an Arizona notary may be paid travel up to the mileage and per diem rates authorized for state employees, charged separately from the $10 notarial fee and disclosed to the customer in advance.
Is it illegal for an Arizona notary to overcharge?
Yes. Under A.R.S. § 41-316 a notary may not charge or advertise a fee greater than the amount the Secretary of State has set by rule, so charging more than the $10 cap, or charging for an act outside the listed schedule, is a violation that can lead to discipline.
