Earning Money as a Notary Public
Many people don’t know that notary publics are even allowed to charge for their services. There is a maximum amount set by each state, but a fee of $10 per service is pretty typical. By adding notary public certification to your regular employment, you can nicely supplement your income. There are a few expenses involved in becoming a notary public. You may need to pay application fees, the cost of a seminar if one is required by your state, the cost of securing a bond if required by your state (including Kansas and Washington, D.C.), and expenses for buying a notary public seal and supplies from companies like Notary Underwriter’s Inc. However, with four- or five-year appointments for notary publics, you can easily make that money back and then some.
