Nevada Notary Fee Schedule

Statutory Fee Limits

Nevada law sets maximum fees by type of notarial act. An acknowledgment allows $15 for the first signature of each signer and $7.50 for each additional signature; a jurat allows $15 for each signature on the affidavit.

Charging more than the applicable maximum in NRS 240.100 violates Nevada's fee limits and can result in disciplinary action against your commission. There's no wiggle room on this one.

What Counts as a Notarial Act

Each individual notarization is one act. If a signer brings a single document requiring one acknowledgment for one signature, that's one act (up to $15). If they bring five documents each requiring one acknowledgment for one signature, that's five acts (up to $75 total).

Common acts and their maximum fees:

• Acknowledgment: $15 for the first signature of each signer; $7.50 for each additional signature
• Jurat: $15 per signature on the affidavit
• Copy certification: $7.50 per certified copy
• Oath or affirmation: $7.50 per oath or affirmation

Travel Fees and Mobile Notary Charges

Nevada permits a separate travel fee only when the person requesting the notarial act asks the notary to travel, the notary explains that the fee is additional and not required by law, and the person agrees in advance to an hourly rate. The maximum is $15 per hour from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. or $30 per hour from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.; a two-hour minimum is allowed, with pro rata billing after the first two hours.

Signing Agent Fees Are Different

If you're working as a notary signing agent handling real estate loan packages, your signing agent fee is separate from the notarization fee. Title companies and signing services pay fees that vary by appointment, loan type, location, and market demand for the loan document handling service. You may also collect the per-act notarization fee from the borrower (typically absorbed into closing costs), but the signing fee itself is a service charge, not a notarization fee.

This distinction matters for your records. Your notary journal should reflect the actual fee charged for each notarial act, subject to the applicable maximum above. Your signing agent income is business revenue for the document handling service.

Recording Fees in Your Journal

NRS 240.120 requires you to record the fee charged for each notarial act in your bound journal. If you waive the fee, record $0. If you charge less than the applicable maximum, record the actual amount. Leaving the fee field blank is a compliance gap you don't want.

The Nevada notary commissioning guide covers the full fee structure alongside the journal-keeping requirements, so you know exactly what to charge and how to document it from your first notarization.
