Remote Online Notarization

How do the fees differ from Mobile Notary fees? 

Online notaries are allowed to charge $25 plus the regular notary fees authorized by Texas Government Code §406.024.

For example:

1. if an online notary notarizes the signature of one person, the charge will be $31, i.e. $25 + $6 = $31;
2. if an online notary notarizes the signatures of two persons named in the same notarial certificate, the charge will be $32, i.e. $25 + $6 +$1 = $32;
3. if an online notary notarizes the signatures of two persons, and there are separate notarial certificates for each signing party, the charge will be $62, i.e. $25 +$6 for the first notarization and $25 +$6 for the second notarization, which totals $62.

Unless you need me to take care of uploading your document(s) that are to be notarzied, there is no need to email them to me ahead of time. You can upload them yourself directly to the platform. 

It is important to make sure your document is in in PDF format.
