Notary Public
Notary fees
The fee to notarize a signature on a document is currently $15 per notarized signature. The California State Legislature passed legislation increasing this fee to $20 per notarized signature starting January 1, 2027. As an example of notary fees, if two people are signing the same document, the fee is $30. Starting January 1, 2027, this fee will increase to $40. In cases of real estate purchases, the total number of signatures can be large, but most of the signatures are not notarized.

Important information
Every person requesting notarization of their signature must have a valid, unexpired photo identification. The most common forms of ID are driver's license, DMV ID, DMV Senior Citizen ID and passport. Some forms of military ID are acceptable, but they must contain the photo and signature of the person. If you do not have a valid, unexpired ID, you may bring two people with you who have a valid ID who can sign a statement confirming your identity.
