Fees
Under G.S. 10B-31, the maximum fee for a traditional North Carolina notarial act is:
- a.$2 per signature
- b.$5 per principal signature✓
- c.$15 per signature
- d.No limit
North Carolina caps the fee for a traditional notarial act at $5 per principal signature. Electronic and remote (RON) acts have a higher statutory maximum (for example, up to $10 per act). A notary may charge less but never more than the cap; verify current figures.
Fees
Why does North Carolina allow a higher fee cap for electronic and remote notarizations?
- a.To reflect the added technology and identity-verification steps✓
- b.Because RON notaries are attorneys
- c.Because there is no cap online
- d.To discourage electronic acts
Electronic and remote notarizations involve approved platforms, credential analysis, identity proofing, and recording retention. North Carolina therefore sets a higher maximum (e.g., up to $10 per act) than the $5 traditional cap. Confirm the current G.S. 10B-31 amounts.
