Prices

‍ ‍A Pennsylvania Notary is not permitted to charge more than the published rates on the PA Department of State website for a notarial stamp. If you encounter a PA Notary Public charging more than the rates below, please contact the Pennsylvania Department of State Notary Complaints.

Many Notaries do, however, assess administrative fees to cover their travel and overhead, such as rent, copies, and record-keeping. These fees are appropriate as long as they are indicated as separate from the State fee, and they may vary from notary to notary.
