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.

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" [18]. The $10 maximum includes electronic and remote online notarizations [11].
