What is a mobile notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to the signer, at a home, hospital, office or care home, instead of working from a fixed counter. In the states we cover there is no separate mobile commission: it is the same notary commission, plus a travel fee where the state allows one.
Some states write travel into the fee law itself. North Carolina allows actual mileage at the federal business rate if the signer agrees in writing, and Ohio allows a reasonable travel fee agreed before the act.[1][2]
How much does it cost for a notary to come to your house?
You pay the notarial fee, which your state caps, plus a travel fee the notary sets within state rules. Florida caps a notarial act at $10 and California allows $15 per signature on an acknowledgment, while Maryland limits travel to IRS mileage plus $5.[3][4][5]
Ask for the total before the notary sets off, with the notarial fee and the travel fee on separate lines. Our fee calculator shows both for any state.
How do I find a mobile notary?
Start with your state guide on this site, then check three things before you book: the notary's commission is current in your Secretary of State's notary search, the notarial fee is within your state's cap, and the travel fee is agreed in writing before the notary travels.
City listings open as notaries in each city are verified against their state's commission records. A city page goes live once it has five verified notaries, so the first page you see is useful.
How do I find clients as a mobile notary?
List yourself free here, with your service area, travel fee and hours. Then add a Google Business Profile, introduce yourself to local title and escrow offices, hospitals and care homes, and sign up with loan signing services if you are a trained signing agent.
Price clearly. Clients trust a quote that shows the state's notarial fee and your travel fee as separate lines, and our calculator writes that quote for you.

How we check every number
Each fee, travel rule and journal rule on this site comes from the state statute, administrative code or Secretary of State page, quoted and linked, with the date we read it. Where a state's law is silent, we say so rather than guess. Rhode Island's rule that every fee be disclosed before the act is a good example of the kind of text we quote.[6]
All fees must be disclosed to any person utilizing the services of the notary public prior to performance of the notarial act.[6]
Mobile notary fees in the states we cover
The notarial fee is set by state law and the travel fee mostly is not. Here is the acknowledgment cap and the travel rule in each state with a full guide, straight from the statute or Secretary of State page.
| State | Acknowledgment fee (maximum) | Travel fee rule |
|---|---|---|
| Texas | Up to $10 for the first signature and $1 for each additional signature, including the certificate and seal[7] | Texas law does not mention travel fees. |
| Florida | Up to $10 per notarial act. Florida sets one cap for any single notarial act, not a per-signature scale[3] | Florida statutes cap the fee for a notarial act but do not mention travel fees. |
| California | Up to $15 for each signature taken on an acknowledgment or proof, including the seal and certificate[4] | California law sets no travel fee. |
| New York | $2 for the first person signing, and $2 for each additional person[8] | New York law does not mention travel fees. |
| Georgia | $2 for each notarial act[9] | No Georgia statute summary or GSCCCA page we read mentions a travel fee. |
| Illinois | $5 for each non-electronic notarial act[10] | The Illinois Notary Public Act and the Secretary of State rules do not set or cap a travel fee. |
| North Carolina | $10 per notarized principal signature[1] | You may charge actual mileage at the federal business mileage rate, and only if the signer agrees in writing before you travel. |
| Pennsylvania | Up to $5 for the first person named in the acknowledgment certificate, plus $2 for each additional name on the same certificate[11] | The Department of State does not set travel fees. |
| Ohio | Up to $5 per notarial act, no matter how many signatures the certificate covers[2] | Ohio law allows a reasonable travel fee on top of the notarial fee, but only if the notary and the signer agree it before the notarial act. |
| Michigan | Up to $10 for any individual transaction or notarial act[12] | Michigan law allows a separate travel fee but sets no dollar cap. |
