Iowa notary fees: what a notary may charge

Fees for notarial acts in Iowa

Online and remote notarization

The Handbook applies the same reasonable-fee rule to remote acts, and Iowa Code chapter 9B sets no per-act maximum.

Travel and other charges

The Handbook page we read sets no travel fee, so ask the notary what they charge and get the total before you book.

Compare with New Jersey

New Jersey sets $2.50 per act under N.J. Admin. Code 17:50-1.18. See how much a notary costs in New Jersey, or learn about remote online notarization. Whether a document notarized online is accepted depends on the receiving party and the law that applies.
