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.
