Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Chandler, Arizona, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those.

Notary in Chandler
- Library: we didn't find notary service on Chandler Public Library's technology, fees or FAQ pages.
- The UPS Store: the 1055 S Arizona Ave store lists notary service [15]. We didn't find its notary price or separate notary hours.
- Fees (statewide): the Arizona Secretary of State says notary fees run from "No charge up to a maximum of $10.00 per notarial act," including electronic and remote online notarizations. A notary may not charge more for an electronic or remote notarization [11]. Arizona law also allows mileage and per diem up to the rates for state employees [12]. New Mexico caps most notary fees at $5 and Nebraska's acknowledgment cap is $5; Utah's is $10 per signature, Wyoming's $10 per notarial act and Colorado's $15 per document, and Kansas has no dollar cap.
- More fee rules (statewide): the Secretary of State's October 2026 Notary Public Reference Manual says a notary "can charge no more than $10 per notary public signature." A notary may charge less or nothing, but fees must be set and consistent. Arizona law requires notaries to post a schedule of fees "in a conspicuous place." Service or transaction fees "shall not be charged." A notary who travels may charge a mileage fee at "the amount allowed Arizona state employees" [20]. The $10 maximum includes electronic and remote online notarizations [11].
- What Arizona notaries do (statewide): only acknowledgments, jurats, copy certifications, and oaths and affirmations [11].
- Thumbprint (statewide): since September 12, 2026 (SB 1479), a notary must take your right thumbprint in the notary journal for deeds, quitclaim deeds, deeds of trust, other documents affecting real property and powers of attorney [11].
- Banks (national policy): Bank of America says notary service is available "at no cost to our customers" and "in many of our financial centers." Schedule an appointment. All signers must be present [13]. We didn't check which Chandler branches offer it. For other banks, see free notary options.
