That figure is for the act itself. Whether a travel charge may be added in Ohio is a state question, and we check it with you before assigning any job there. A note on the state: Wikipedia names Cardinal Health, Nationwide, Procter & Gamble, Kroger, Progressive and Cleveland Clinic among Ohio's notable employers. Figures: [NNA, Notary fees by state](https://www.nationalnotary.org/knowledge-center/about-notaries/notary-fees-by-state) (updated September 16, 2026). States change fees, so verify yours.

Ohio details ## Before you apply in Ohio Notary commissions in Ohio are tied to [Ohio Secretary of State](https://www.ohiosos.gov/). Before you apply, check that your commission is active and has at least 60 days left, because we cannot assign a job on a commission that is about to lapse. Ohio has counties across the state. Tell us which ones you will travel to and which you prefer to avoid, and we only offer in-person jobs inside that range. What it pays ## Pay and terms You are paid per assignment. Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Passing or countering never counts against you, in Ohio or anywhere else. A 1099 follows at year end. A mobile notary visit is offered from $35 and a loan signing from $75, and plenty of offers come in above those amounts. Jobs are offered one at a time as client requests come in near your home ZIP, around Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati or anywhere else you are willing to travel. There is no guaranteed volume. This is general information, not legal advice. We are young and keep the team small on purpose, which means early contractors get first call as work grows. Use the application on this page, with your commission and E&O uploaded (plus the NNA certificate if you want loan signings). When everything is there and the dates check out, approval can be automatic, followed by an email to sign the agreement and add your W-9 before offers arrive by text or email. FAQ ## Ohio notary contractor questions **Can I apply if I am commissioned in Ohio?** Yes, if your Ohio commission has at least 60 days left. You upload your documents with the application. **Is there work in Ohio right now?** We cannot promise any. Our in-person volume is mainly in New Jersey, and Ohio applicants join a pool for remote work and for in-person work as it opens. We would rather say that plainly. **What does it cost to join?** Joining is free, and so is applying. Your own commission and E&O policy are your expense, plus NNA certification if you want loan signings. **Do you have an office in Ohio?** No. MCC Solutions is based in Cranford, New Jersey, and we do not have an office outside it.
