  1. An employer directs a notary employee to notarize documents for customers during work hours. May the employer establish policies about fee collection?

    Answer: Yes, employers may set workplace policies governing fee collection by employee notaries

    Private employers may establish workplace policies about whether and how employee notaries collect fees for services performed on company time.

  2. A Nebraska notary travels to a client's office to perform notarial acts. In addition to the per-act fee, what may the notary charge?

    Answer: A reasonable travel fee separate from the notarial fee

    Nebraska notaries may charge a reasonable travel fee in addition to the per-act fee when they travel to perform notarial services.

  3. A notary charges $10 for a single acknowledgment. What violation has occurred?

    Answer: Exceeding the statutory maximum notary fee

    Charging more than $5 for a single notarial act violates Nebraska's maximum fee statute regardless of any prior client agreement.

  4. May a Nebraska notary refuse to perform a notarial act because the client is unable to pay the fee?

    Answer: Yes, notaries may decline if a client is unwilling or unable to pay

    A notary is not obligated to perform services without compensation and may decline if a client is unwilling or unable to pay.

  5. A document has four signers, each requiring a separate acknowledgment. How many fee charges may the Nebraska notary collect?

    Answer: Up to $5 per acknowledgment, one charge per signer

    Each signer's acknowledgment is a separate notarial act, and each may be charged up to the $5 maximum, for a total of up to $20.

  6. A client requests a written receipt for notary fees paid. Is a Nebraska notary required to provide one?

    Answer: No, receipts are optional but considered good professional practice

    Nebraska law does not mandate written receipts for notary fees, though providing one is a professional best practice.

  7. Which of the following is NOT a legitimate basis for charging a $5 notary fee in Nebraska?

    Answer: Being on standby but completing no actual notarial act

    Nebraska notary fees are charged for completed notarial acts; merely being available without performing an act does not justify a fee.
