What is typically not included in the notary's basic fees for services rendered?

In the context of notary services, travel fees are typically considered separate from the basic fees for services rendered. While notaries are allowed to charge a fee for performing notarial acts such as administering jurats or acknowledgments, travel fees arise when a notary has to travel to a location that is not their usual place of business to perform these services. This means that if a notary is asked to travel to a client's home or another location, the costs associated with travel (like fuel or time) are additional charges, rather than part of the standard notary fee.

Understanding this distinction is crucial for both notaries and clients. It allows notaries to adequately cover their costs associated with providing services outside of their usual location, while also ensuring that clients are aware of potential additional expenses when requesting notarial services. This separation helps maintain transparency in pricing and allows notaries to effectively manage their business practices.
