What Does It Cost to Hire a Notary in Florida? Here’s What You Need to Know Before You Book

Claudia Mitchell-McLeod • June 24, 2025

Last Monday morning, I received a message that could have come from almost anyone:


“Hi, I’m helping my mom with some paperwork. We need a Power of Attorney notarized in New Tampa. Can you tell me how much that will cost?”

— Monica T.


It’s a perfectly reasonable question. But here’s the challenge: notary pricing isn’t always as straightforward as people expect — especially in Florida, where costs can vary based on travel, witness requirements, and whether the signing is in person or remote.


So if you're wondering how much it costs to hire a notary in Florida, you're not alone. Let’s break it down.


Florida law sets maximum fees for notarial acts — usually $10 per notarization in person and up to $25 for remote online notarizations (RON). But that doesn’t include real-world necessities like:

  • Travel fees for mobile notaries
  • Witness coordination (especially for documents like POAs and healthcare directives)
  • After-hours appointments or special requests
  • Multiple signatures or notarizations within the same session


At Notary Near Me, I simplify things by quoting a total price up front, so there are no surprises. Here’s a typical breakdown for common services:

In-Person Power of Attorney in New Tampa:

  • Starting Rate: $50
  • Additional Witnesses (if needed): $30 per witness
  • Travel Fees: Included in the total quote
  • Total Cost for Monica: $110 — she needed two witnesses and preferred a neutral public location

Remote Online Notarization (RON):

  • Single Notarization: $55
  • Add-on for Witness (if provided by me): $10–15

Notary pricing in many other states works similarly — base fees are capped, but mobile notaries often charge additional fees for travel, witnesses, or special scheduling. Always confirm local requirements, especially when notarizing legal documents across state lines.


Please note: The pricing in this post reflects the services and structure of Notary Near Me Florida. Other notaries within the state may charge more or less based on their location, availability, and policies.


When people are dealing with life’s big moments — helping aging parents, navigating legal documents, finalizing estate plans — the last thing they want is confusion about cost.


That’s why I don’t itemize every component. I provide a flat, all-inclusive quote that covers exactly what you need. No stress. No surprises.


Monica called back that afternoon with a few follow-up questions. Once I understood her situation — the type of document, who would be signing, and whether witnesses were needed — I provided her with a flat-rate quote that included the notarization, travel, and the witness fees.


Later that week, Monica and her mother met me and two witnesses at a quiet local café. Her mom had valid ID, the paperwork was ready, and within 20 minutes, we had the Power of Attorney properly notarized — no confusion, no delays.


If you need a notary for a Power of Attorney, trust documents, real estate papers, or any other critical form — I’m here to help. Whether you prefer in-person service or remote notarization, I’ll walk you through the process, quote you a fair total, and show up ready.
