Do I have to charge someone to notarize something? I received my commission through the company I work for and I am unclear if I should be charging fees. — E.A., Woodburn, OR
In Oregon, charging is optional. Notaries are not required to charge for their Notary services, and they may charge any fee less than the statutory maximum.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
