Hawaii Notary Public Exam — All Questions

Under HRS §456-17, the Hawaii notary fee per act is capped at approximately:

• a.$2
• b.$5✓
• c.$15
• d.No limit

Hawaii caps the notarial fee at a modest statutory amount (about $5 per act/signature under HRS §456-17). A notary may charge less but not more, and the fee should be recorded in the mandatory record of acts. Verify the current maximum.

Where should a Hawaii notary record the fee charged for an act?

• a.In the mandatory record (journal) of acts✓
• b.Nowhere
• c.On the signer's ID
• d.On a public website

Because Hawaii requires a record of every act, the fee is part of that official record. Recording the fee alongside the date, act type, parties, and identification method keeps the mandatory record complete and accurate.
