Pricing
A notarial act in Pennsylvania costs $5.00, with $2.00 for each additional name in the same certificate and $3.00 per page to note a protest. Those are maximum fees set by the Commonwealth, identical for every notary in the state. Because I'm mobile, a flat travel & convenience fee starting at $45 is added on top — quoted before I set out, never a surprise at the table.
Set by the Commonwealth under 4 Pa. Code § 167.3 and published by the Pennsylvania Department of State. No notary in Pennsylvania may charge more than these amounts for the act itself.
| Notarial act | Charged | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Taking an acknowledgment | per name of the first individual in the certificate | $5.00 |
| Each additional name in the same certificate | per additional name | $2.00 |
| Administering an oath or affirmation | per individual | $5.00 |
| Taking a verification on oath or affirmation | per individual making the declaration | $5.00 |
| Witnessing or attesting a signature | per signature | $5.00 |
| Certifying or attesting a copy or deposition | per certified copy | $5.00 |
| Noting a protest of a negotiable instrument | per page | $3.00 |
From $45, flat within about 15 miles of my base in West Grove, and quoted by distance and time beyond that. This is a separate, non-statutory charge for coming to you — it is additional to, never a substitute for, the statutory fee above. You get the number before I travel, and § 167.3(c) requires me to hand you an itemized receipt showing both lines separately.
Some appointments cost more to run. When one of these applies, I'll quote it when you book, and it's on your written confirmation before I travel.
Amounts are on my fee schedule, which comes with every quote. Nothing is added that you didn't agree to first.
