Mobile Notary Fees in Pennsylvania

Mobile notary travel and appointment fees in Philadelphia are separate from Pennsylvania's maximum notary fees ($5 per acknowledgment and $5 for jurats). Travel and appointment fees are negotiated separately. Pennsylvania notary fees are set by the Department of State by regulation under 57 Pa. C.S. § 329.1, with the current schedule at 4 Pa. Code § 167.3 (codified by the final RULONA implementing regulations published in early 2026 at 56 Pa.B. 1672). Acknowledgment of the first individual on a certificate is $5, with $2 for each additional name in the same certificate. An oath or affirmation is $5 per individual. A verification on oath or affirmation (the Pennsylvania equivalent of a jurat) is $5 per individual. Witnessing or attesting a signature is $5 per signature. A certified or attested copy or deposition is $5. Noting a protest of a negotiable instrument is $3 per page. Electronic notaries public and remote notaries public may charge an additional fee of up to $20 per notarial act performed on an electronic record or using communication technology under 4 Pa. Code § 167.3(b), so a typical RON act is capped at $25 ($5 base plus $20 EN/RON addition). A notary may not charge any fee for notarizing an Emergency Absentee Ballot supporting affidavit or the assistance affidavit for a person needing help to vote by absentee ballot. Travel and clerical fees (copying, postage, phone calls, mileage) are not capped by the Department. They must be customary and reasonable for the geographic area, disclosed to the customer before the notarization, separately itemized in the journal, and included on the receipt the notary must provide whenever any fee is charged (4 Pa. Code § 167.3(c)).

Frequently asked questions

How much does a mobile notary cost in Philadelphia?

Can I get a same-day mobile notary in Philadelphia?

Many mobile notaries in Philadelphia offer same-day or next-day appointments, including evenings and weekends. Contact agents early for time-sensitive documents.

What should I prepare before the mobile notary arrives?
