Fees
The $15 figure associated with New York notaries refers to:
- a.The exam fee✓
- b.The per-acknowledgment fee
- c.The annual renewal
- d.The bond amount
In New York, $15 is the notary exam fee, not a per-act charge. The per-act maximum is only $2. Confusing the exam fee with the notarial fee cap is a common trap; the two figures are unrelated.
