Read the first 7 Maximum Allowable Notary Fees flashcards as text

  1. What is the maximum fee a Nebraska notary may charge for performing a single remote online notarial act (RON)?

    Answer: $25

    Nebraska law permits notaries performing remote online notarization to charge a maximum of $25 per notarial act.

  2. How does Nebraska's maximum fee for remote online notarization compare to its maximum fee for traditional in-person notarization?

    Answer: RON allows a higher maximum fee of $25 per act

    At $25 maximum versus $5 for in-person acts, Nebraska's RON fee limit is five times higher to account for technology costs.

  3. A Nebraska notary performing remote online notarizations wants to charge $30 per act. Is this permitted?

    Answer: No, the $25 maximum for RON applies regardless of client agreement

    The $25 per-act maximum for remote online notarization cannot be exceeded even if the client voluntarily agrees to pay more.

  4. A notary employed by a government agency collects fees for notarial acts performed during work hours. What typically happens to those fees?

    Answer: Agency policy governs; many government employers require fees to be remitted to the agency

    While the notary performs the act, government agency policies often require that fees be remitted to the employing agency rather than kept personally.

  5. A Nebraska notary performs an acknowledgment and then administers an oath during the same appointment for the same client. What is the maximum total fee that may be charged?

    Answer: $10, since each notarial act may be charged up to $5

    Each notarial act—the acknowledgment and the oath—is separate and may each be charged up to $5, for a maximum total of $10.

  6. What must a Nebraska notary do before charging fees for notarial services?

    Answer: Inform the client of the fee and ensure it stays within statutory maximums

    Notaries must stay within statutory limits and should communicate their fees to clients before performing the notarial act; no formal state filing or public posting is required.

  7. A notary who is also a licensed attorney charges a $5 notary fee and a separate attorney consultation fee during the same appointment. Which statement is correct?

    Answer: The $5 notary fee is proper; attorney fees for separate legal services are governed by different rules

    The $5 maximum applies only to the notarial act itself; professional legal fees for separate services rendered are governed by attorney fee rules, not notary fee statutes.
