Florida Notary Fee Calculator (2026)

A Florida notary public may charge no more than $10 for any notarial act, the single flat cap set by Fla. Stat. § 117.05(2)(a). The calculator above returns the statutory maximum for the act and count you choose. Florida is one of the simplest states to price, because almost every in-person act, an acknowledgment, a jurat, an oath or affirmation, attesting a signature, or certifying a copy, shares the same $10 ceiling. Online notarizations are the one exception, capped at $25.

What are the maximum notary fees in Florida?

Under Fla. Stat. § 117.05(2)(a) a Florida notary may charge a maximum of $10 for each notarial act. There is no separate higher fee for an acknowledgment versus a jurat versus an oath, and no first-name-plus-additional-name structure: the cap is a flat $10 per act. A single document that requires two distinct notarial acts, for example an acknowledgment and a separate jurat, may be charged $10 for each act. Online notarizations performed under Fla. Stat. § 117.275 are capped at $25 per act, which is the only act priced above $10.

Are these fixed prices or ceilings?

They are ceilings, not fixed prices. A Florida notary may charge less than $10, charge nothing, or waive the fee entirely. The $10 figure is the most a notary is allowed to bill for the act itself. Because the cap is per act rather than per signature, the total scales with the number of separate notarial acts performed, not with how many signatures appear on one certificate.

How much can a Florida notary charge for an online or remote notarization?

A Florida online notary may charge up to $25 for an online notarial act under Fla. Stat. § 117.275, the one exception to the $10 in-person cap. Online notarization, also called remote online notarization or RON, lets a signer appear before the notary by audio-video technology, and Florida has authorized it since 2020. The $25 replaces the $10 in-person fee for that act rather than adding to it. Any separate platform or technology charge by a RON service is a service fee outside the notarial fee, so it is not part of the § 117.275 cap and should be disclosed on its own.

When can a Florida notary not charge a fee?

Florida bars a fee for witnessing a vote-by-mail ballot. Under Fla. Stat. § 117.05(2)(b) a notary public must witness the signing of a vote-by-mail ballot on request and may not charge a fee for doing so, because access to voting is protected. Solemnizing a marriage is treated as a separate service from the standard notarial acts and is priced under its own provision rather than the $10 cap. Outside those exceptions, the $10 ceiling, or $25 for an online act, controls.

Can a Florida notary charge for travel, and what happens if a notary overcharges?

Travel and other convenience services are separate from the notarial fee. Fla. Stat. § 117.05(2) caps only the notarial act, so a mobile or traveling notary who charges for travel is charging for a non-notarial service the statute does not set. Any travel or convenience fee should be disclosed and agreed with the customer in advance and kept separate from the capped notarial fee. Charging more than the statutory maximum is a violation: a Florida notary who collects more than § 117.05 allows is subject to discipline by the Governor and the Department of State, including suspension or revocation of the commission. When in doubt, charge at or below the cap and give an itemized receipt.

• The $10 cap under § 117.05(2)(a) is per notarial act, not per signature.
• An online notarization is capped at $25 per act under § 117.275.
• No fee may be charged for witnessing a vote-by-mail ballot under § 117.05(2)(b).
• Travel and convenience fees are not notarial fees and are not capped, so disclose and agree them in advance.
