  1. A signer presents a document with two signature lines for a jurat. What is the maximum fee a Nevada notary may charge for this single document?

    Answer: $30.00

    According to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 240.100, a notary public may charge a maximum fee of $15.00 for a jurat, for each signature on the affidavit. Since there are two signatures requiring a jurat, the total maximum fee is $15.00 x 2 = $30.00.

  2. A Nevada notary is hired to travel to a client's home at 8:00 PM. The notary and client agree in advance on a travel fee. Which of the following conditions is required by law for the notary to charge for travel?

    Answer: The travel fee must not exceed $30 per hour.

    NRS 240.100(3) specifies that for travel between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., the agreed-upon hourly rate cannot exceed $30 per hour. The law also requires the notary to explain that the fee is separate from the notarial act fee and not required by law, and the client must agree in advance. The notary is entitled to the fee even if the act cannot be completed due to the signer's actions.

  3. A document requires one acknowledgment for a primary signer and a second acknowledgment for an additional signer on the same page. What is the total maximum fee the notary can charge for these notarial acts?

    Answer: $30.00

    NRS 240.100 allows a notary to charge up to $15.00 for taking an acknowledgment for the first signature of EACH signer. Since there are two different signers, each requiring an acknowledgment for their first (and only) signature, the notary can charge $15.00 for the first signer and $15.00 for the second signer, for a total of $30.00.

  4. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the fees a Nevada notary may charge?

    Answer: A notary who charges for services must post a schedule of their fees in a conspicuous place.

    According to NRS 240.110, if a notary public charges fees, they must display a table of the authorized fees in a conspicuous place in their office. Notaries are not required to charge any fee at all, but if they do, they cannot exceed the statutory maximums. Travel fees are separate and additional, and employers cannot claim fees for work done outside the scope of employment.

  5. A client requests a certified copy of a three-page document. What is the maximum fee a Nevada notary can charge for this service?

    Answer: $22.50

    The maximum fee for certifying a copy of a document is $7.50 per page certified. Since the document has three pages, the maximum allowable fee is 3 x $7.50 = $22.50.

  6. A Nevada notary public is asked to administer an oath to a person who is about to testify over the phone for a deposition. The act does not involve the person signing anything. What is the maximum fee for this notarial act?

    Answer: $7.50

    Under NRS 240.100, the maximum fee for administering an oath or affirmation without a signature is $7.50. This applies when the primary notarial act is administering the oath itself.
