$10 for each document notarized, covering up to two signers. A flat $75 if we come to you. No travel fee at the Pleasanton office.
How much does a notary cost in California?Link to this section
The most a California notary can charge is $15 for each signature. That limit is set by Government Code § 8211.
We charge $10 for each document notarized. That covers up to two signers on that document. If two people sign the same form, it is still one document, so it is still $10.
If a document has more than two signers, each signer past the second adds $5.
If we come to you, add a flat $75 for the visit. The $75 is the same however many documents you need. There is no travel fee if you come to the Pleasanton office.

Notarization, $10 for each documentLink to this section
We count documents that need a notary stamp. We do not count pages, and we do not count how long the document is.
- A one-page form, signed by one person. One document. $10
- The same form, signed by two people. Still one document, and two signers are included. $10
- The same form, signed by three people. One document, one signer past the second. $15
- A 12-page trust with one acknowledgment at the end. One document. $10
- A deed and a power of attorney signed at the same visit. Two documents. $20
A long document does not cost more. What counts is how many documents the notary stamps, and whether more than two people sign one of them.
We tell you the total before you book.
Travel, if we come to youLink to this section
A flat $75 per visit. Same fee for one document or twelve. We say the travel fee out loud before you book, and we keep it on its own line so you can see which part is which.

If an appointment cannot go aheadLink to this section
Sometimes it cannot. An ID does not qualify, a page has a blank space that needs filling in, or a signer is not well enough to go ahead that day.
If we travelled to you, the $75 travel fee stands. The trip happened. There is no notarization fee, because nothing was notarized.
If you came to the Pleasanton office, there is no charge at all.
It is better to avoid this altogether. That is what What to Bring is for.

California law caps what a notary can charge. Government Code § 8211 allows up to $15 for each signature on an acknowledgment, and $15 for an oath or affirmation with the jurat. The cap is counted per signature, and our per-document pricing stays under it at every tier. Ask before you book if you want the breakdown.
