Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.
How much does a notary cost?
The average cost to hire a notary is $10 to $15 per notarized document. Additional fees typically apply for loan documents, reverse mortgages, second mortgages, additional borrowers, document printing, document delivery, mobile fees, and travel or waiting time.
Notary fees also vary by state. Each state sets its own fee schedule and the maximum allowable charge. Mobile Notaries can legally charge convenience fees on top of the state's maximum allowed notary charge.
What is a Notary Public?
A notary public is a government-appointed official who serves as an impartial witness in the signing of official documents, such as real estate documents, marriage-related documents, wills, and powers of attorney. The notary observes the document signing and confirms the identities of the parties signing, their awareness of the documents' contents and meaning, and their willingness to sign.
What do I need to bring to a Notary visit?
Since a notary public must confirm your identity, always bring a current, government-issued photo ID with you. In addition to your ID and the document you need notarized, you may need to bring additional parties with you to serve as witnesses. While some states allow the notary public to act as a witness, others do not. Be sure to check with the notary service near you to confirm the requirements in your state and for your specific document.
Where can I find the best notary service near me?
When searching for a notary near you, be sure to:
Check out their profile and reviews on Thervo and Google.
Check their qualifications on their website and on Notary Public databases.
Choose a notary public close to your location to avoid additional travel time or hefty travel fees if you are hiring a mobile notary service.
Choose an insured and bonded notary public who belongs to professional organizations such as the Notary Association of America. Professional organizations typically require members to have ongoing training to keep their education and credentials current.
Review your state's Notary Public fee schedule on your Secretary of State's website.
Confirm the notary's fees before signing or agreeing to anything.

I've been shopping around and most people I talk to are charging an arm and a leg. They also talk about money before they ask me about my situation and what I need. It's quite rare at Benari and Nguyen they actually care and advise on what would be best for your situation.
It's hard to find people out there actually trying take time to consult with you on what will be best for you, not how they can make they can make the most money off of you. Also, very affordable prices. I highly recommend my attorney Chris. He's been great with all my BK needs and happy to answer questions.
