What Are Mobile Notary Services, Anyway?

If you’re new to the world of mobile notary services, here’s the scoop: instead of you driving to a notary’s office, a mobile notary comes to you. This makes it an excellent option for anyone who’s short on time, dealing with mobility issues, or simply wants a little extra convenience.

But like all great services, mobile notaries come with a cost—and understanding that cost is key to choosing the right professional for your needs.

The Big Question: What Impacts the Cost?

If you’ve ever wondered why mobile notary fees vary, here are the main factors:

1. Travel Distance
The further the notary has to travel, the more you can expect to pay for mileage and time. Want to save a little cash? Try finding a notary who’s closer to your location.

2. Document Type
Simple documents? No problem! Complex documents that need extra attention? They may cost a bit more because they take more time and expertise.

3. Time of Day
Need a notary after hours or on a weekend? You might see a small increase in fees. Think of it as a "thank you" to the notary for being available when others might not be!

What Florida Law Says About Fees

Here’s something not everyone knows: in Florida, the state regulates the maximum fees notaries can charge for notarizing documents. These regulated fees keep things fair and consistent, but they only cover the notarization itself—not travel or extra services.

At Now Or Never Notary, we always stick to these guidelines and make our travel fees clear upfront so there are no surprises.

Breaking Down Typical Costs

Here’s what you can expect:

Base Fee: A standard fee for notarizing your document, as set by Florida law.
Travel Fee: This depends on how far we travel and covers mileage and time.
Additional Fees: Need after-hours help or have extra documents? Those might cost a little more.

How to Save Money

Looking to keep your notary costs manageable? Try these tips:

Schedule During Regular Hours: After-hours appointments are convenient, but regular hours might be more budget-friendly.
Combine Documents: If you have several documents to notarize, do it all in one session to save time and money.
Go Local: Choosing a notary close to home can help you avoid higher travel fees.
