Nevada Notary Practice Exam

What kind of fee should a notary charge for going to the signer’s location?

1. Travel fee

2. Service fee

3. Processing fee

4. Emergency fee

The correct answer is: Travel fee

A notary should charge a travel fee for going to the signer’s location because this fee compensates the notary for the time and resources spent traveling to provide notary services outside of their usual location. Travel fees are typically considered separate from the standard notarial fees for services such as witnessing signatures or administering oaths, reflecting the additional effort and costs incurred during travel. Other types of fees, such as service fees or processing fees, generally refer to the charges for the actual notary services performed rather than the travel to a location. An emergency fee might apply in situations requiring immediate attention, but it does not specifically denote the charge for traveling to meet a signer. Thus, the travel fee is the most appropriate designation for compensation related to going to a signer’s location.
