You pay in two parts: the visit fee when you book, to reserve the time, and the State notarization fees at the appointment. The booking payment does not include the notarizations. Cancel or reschedule free up to 2 hours before. Inside 2 hours, half the visit fee is kept. If the signing cannot happen (no one there, no valid ID, the document is not ready, or the signer is not ready within 15 minutes of the appointment time), the visit fee is kept. State fees are paid at the appointment, before we stamp, and only for notarizations we actually perform. We take cash, card and Zelle, with no card surcharge. Businesses are invoiced.
Texas law requires every fee to be posted. Here is each one, in plain English first with the legal term underneath. Business visit sizes are on the business pricing page.
These are the most any Texas notary may charge for the notarization itself (Texas Government Code § 406.024 and § 406.111). We charge nothing else per notarization.

One signature online is $35: $25 for the online session plus $10 for the act itself. Two signatures on the same notarial certificate is $36. Two signatures on separate certificates is $70. Those are the Texas Secretary of State's own worked examples.
The Texas Secretary of State is required to adjust the statutory amounts for inflation every five years. If you are reading this well after the date at the foot of the page, check the current figures with the Secretary of State.
These are our own fees for the visit, for your time slot and for extra work. They are not notarial fees and are not set by the State, so they always appear on their own lines, once per visit, never per signature. We confirm the amount with you by text or email before anything is booked.

Texas Government Code § 406.024 sets the maximums: $10 for the first signature on an acknowledgment and $1 for each additional signature, $10 for administering an oath or affirmation with a certificate and seal, and $1 per page for copies. An online notarization may carry up to $25 more under Texas law. We charge the State maximum and nothing else per notarization. One visit fee is added once per visit, never per signature, on its own line. The Secretary of State is required to adjust the statutory amounts for inflation every five years.
Because Texas law regulates the notarial act, not the trip. The visit is a separate, unregulated service and must be billed separately. Charging more than the statutory maximum by calling it a "notary fee" is unlawful, so we show both figures separately, every time.
The Texas Secretary of State charges $15 per document, or $10 for adoption-related documents, capped at $100 per child's adoption. That fee is paid to the State, not to us. Only the Texas Secretary of State can issue an apostille. No private service can.
