Mobile notary fee estimate
Estimate a visit: $65 base, $1 per billable mile, $12 per signature.
Estimate only, for appointments during business hours. DFS does not offer after-hours notary visits. Your fee and billable mileage are confirmed when you book.
When the signer cannot come to you
A client recovering at home, a witness who works all day on a job site, or an office with five people who each need a jurat: each is a reason a desk notary does not fit.
DFS sends a notary to the location instead. The visit is scheduled in advance, priced before booking, and completed during normal business hours.
Fee structure
