Quick, sourced answers for notaries and people studying for the notary exam in California, Texas and New York. No account needed.
California, Texas and New York all cap what a notary may charge, and they count acknowledgment fees differently: per signature in California, per certificate in Texas, and per person in New York. In California and Texas, charging more than the law allows can cost a notary their commission, so it's worth knowing the numbers cold, whether you're already commissioned or still studying.
