Notary Public Signature Fees & Rates Schedule
Disclaimer: I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice, documents, or suggestions outside the Notary Public field. Notarization fees are set by the State of California. Document & Identification standards & requirements are set by the State of California & US Patriot Act.
Note: A Notarization provides verification of a document signer' willingness to sign and that the signer is the person identified by the signature. A Notarization does not prove the truthfulness of the contents of a document, nor does it validate a document &/or render it legal.
