Master fee schedule

All pricing is disclosed before dispatch.

Mobile, convenience and specialty-service fees are separate from fees charged for official notarial acts. You get the exact figure before I drive.

Mobile service

0 – 10 miles$42.00
10.1 – 20 miles$55.00
20.1 – 30 miles$70.00
More than 30 milesCustom quote

One-way driving distance from my Lindale, Texas dispatch area to the appointment location. The exact appointment address determines the service zone — city names or ZIP codes alone do not guarantee a rate.

Statutory

Texas notarial fees

Acknowledgment or proofFirst signature$10.00
Each additional signatureSame instrument$1.00
Oath or affirmationWith certificate and seal$10.00

Other notarial actsNot otherwise provided for$10.00

Fees for official notarial acts will not exceed the maximum amounts authorized by Texas law. There is no additional service fee merely because multiple documents require notarization.

After-hours, weekend & rush

Standard service hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; appointments in those hours carry no surcharge.

A weekday evening booked on under two hours' notice qualifies for evening (+$25) and rush (+$40) — only the $40 applies. Facility fees are separate and may still be added.

Payment is due at the time services are rendered unless other arrangements are made in advance. There is no electronic-payment processing fee.

After dispatch

Once I have dispatched, applicable mobile, convenience and specialty-facility fees remain due if:

  • The signer is unavailable or does not appear.
  • The signer does not have acceptable identification.
  • Required witnesses are unavailable.
  • The documents are not ready.
  • The signer chooses not to proceed.
  • The notarization cannot be completed for reasons outside my control.

No fee for an official notarial act will be charged if that act is not performed.

Thin Blue Line Notary separates fees for official notarial acts from fees for mobile travel, convenience, facility access, waiting, printing, delivery and other non-notarial services. Your estimated price is disclosed before dispatch, and additional charges are never added without disclosure. All official notarial fees are charged in accordance with applicable Texas law. Thin Blue Line Notary is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
