A new administrative rule in Arizona gives Notaries there a nice raise, but the higher fees also come with some important requirements. Administrative Rule R18-01 has been in effect since March 5 and increases the maximum fee you may charge for a notarization to $10, a big jump from the previous $2.
Fee requirements
The new fee comes with three requirements:
- Arizona Notaries must choose the fee they charge — from “no charge” up to $10.
- Once chosen, that will be the fee they are expected to charge at all times.
- Arizona Notaries are required to post their fee schedule in a conspicuous location and tell signers of the fee before performing a notarization. In addition, the schedule must be in a mandatory format.
Where to get a fee schedule
You essentially have 3 options for obtaining a fee schedule that meets the state’s requirements:
