How Much Does a Notary Cost in North Carolina?

Under North Carolina law, most notarizations cost $10 per signature. Most banks, packaging stores, credit unions, and legal services have notaries. You can normally walk in, but sometimes you need an appointment and often, you will have to time your visit to when a notary is actually there. Be wary of the packaging stores because often, the notary is not in.

As a mobile notary in Durham, I also charge $10 per signature, in line with state guidelines. I do not charge additional travel fees within Durham. Instead, I work with a $50 minimum appointment fee, which covers up to five signatures. An additional $10 per signature is assigned if the job requires over 5 signatures. Sometimes, when doing a will, plus a couple of power of attorneys we can go over the 5 signatures. Also, check your paperwork for witnesses.

I do not have a public office or walk in service. All appointments must be scheduled in advance. I am a mobile notary for a couple of reasons. First, mobile notaries are extremely convenient. I keep hours far longer than most banks. Getting witnesses plus signers together at a location like a UPS Store can be difficult. Second, I service people that can not leave their location. People in hospitals, rehab clinics, hospice, etc are unable to leave and need notary services. Sometimes for people with very busy schedules, I go to their workplace too.

Because I don’t operate a public office, the easiest way to reach me is by text message or by scheduling your appointment online. Online booking lets you choose a time that fits your schedule and helps ensure everything is set up correctly before the visit.

I keep a clear notary fees. I aim to keep pricing simple, transparent, and consistent with state standards. Be sure you are not overpaying when you speak to a notary. Now you have all the information you need.
