Mobile Notary Fees in Virginia

Mobile notary travel and appointment fees in Richmond are separate from Virginia's maximum notary fees ($10 per acknowledgment). Travel and appointment fees are negotiated separately. The August 10, 2026 handbook states a notary may charge up to $10 for each notarial act, including an acknowledgment, an oath, and certifying a copy. An electronic notary may charge up to $25 for each electronic notarial act. Travel away from the notary’s home or office may be charged only if the client agrees to the amount. The commission lasts four years and expires on the last day of the notary’s birth month.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a mobile notary cost in Richmond?

Expect a per-act notary fee plus a travel fee for coming to your location in Richmond, VA. Exact totals depend on distance, after-hours timing, and how many signatures you need. Ask for a written quote before the visit.

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

Many mobile notaries in Richmond 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?

Have the unsigned documents ready, valid photo ID for every signer, and a quiet place to meet. Do not pre-sign documents that require a notary witness.

Is a mobile notary the same as a loan signing agent?

A mobile notary travels for general notarizations. A loan signing agent is trained for mortgage packages and is usually hired by a title company or lender. Many agents offer both; use the loan signing pages when you need a full closing package.
