Understanding Our Notary Fees at Walk-In Notary

From time to time, there’s some confusion around our pricing, especially when it comes to what we mean by an “additional notarization.” This usually comes up when someone has multiple documents, or when they’ve been in before and are coming back again later.

Our pricing structure

At Walk-In Notary, the first notarization is charged at our standard rate. Any additional notarizations done during the same visit are offered at a reduced rate.

Once you’re already in front of a notary and everything has been reviewed, it’s quicker to complete additional documents in that same sitting.

What “additional” refers to

“Additional notarization” means additional work done during the same visit.

So if you come in with two, three, or more documents at once, the first is at the standard rate, and the rest are at the lower additional rate.

What it doesn’t include

If you come back on a different day, even if it’s for something related or even the same document, it’s treated as a new visit. The standard fee applies again.

Each visit requires us to go through the full process again, including reviewing the document and confirming identity, so it’s not considered a continuation of the previous service.

Why we keep it this way

Over the years, we’ve tried different ways of explaining pricing in more detail, but we’ve found that adding too much information tends to create more confusion rather than less.

Most people just want something simple and predictable, so that’s what we aim for.

A quick example

• One document during a visit: standard fee

• Multiple documents during the same visit: standard fee for the first, reduced fee for the rest

• One document today and another next week: each visit is billed separately at the standard rate

If you’re unsure

If you’re ever not sure how pricing will apply to your situation, feel free to ask when you arrive or call ahead. We’re always happy to walk you through it.
