Mobile notaries may charge additional travel fees, but the notary fee itself is capped by law. ### ID Is Always Required You must present a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID. The notary is legally required to verify your identity before notarizing any document. ### Notaries Can't Give Legal Advice A notary public verifies identity and witnesses signatures — they cannot explain documents, fill out forms, or provide any legal counsel. ## Select Your State Click your state for detailed fee schedules, ID requirements, RON availability, and consumer tips.
