Prohibited Acts, Fees, and Liability
The limits that keep a Colorado notary impartial: fee caps for standard and remote acts, disqualifying conflicts, the ban on the unauthorized practice of law, and the consequences of misconduct.
Maximum fees
Colorado caps fees, with a higher ceiling for electronic or remote acts.
Conflicts and prohibited acts
Impartiality and a willing, identified signer are prerequisites for every act.
Unauthorized practice of law
A non-attorney notary must not cross into legal advice.
Liability and discipline
Misconduct has real consequences, and Colorado provides no bond cushion.
