Mobile Notary Cost in Texas (2026): Fees & Travel

How Much Does a Mobile Notary Cost in Texas?

If you are searching for mobile notary cost or mobile notary fees, the honest answer is: totals vary. A Texas mobile notary quote usually combines (1) the fee for the notarial act itself and (2) separate charges for travel, time, printing, or convenience. Those second-category amounts are set by the individual notary or business — not as a single statewide “mobile price list.”

This guide explains the fee structure for Texas, what to ask before you book, and how mobile compares with shipping-store visits and remote online notarization (RON). It does not invent average dollar quotes for travel, loan signings, or city markets.

Two layers of cost: act fee vs everything else

When someone quotes a single number, ask what is included: act fee only, or an all-in mobile visit.

Texas maximum fees for the notarial act

Under Texas Government Code § 406.024, Texas sets maximum fees a notary public may charge for specific official acts. The Texas Secretary of State notary FAQ confirms that § 406.024 specifies those maximums; a lesser fee or no fee is allowed, and excessive fees can lead to discipline.

Per the Texas Secretary of State fee table (Tex. Gov't Code §406.024): $10 for the first signature on an acknowledgment plus $1 for each additional signature, and $10 for an oath or affirmation with certificate and seal. Depositions are $1 per 100 words; a certificate under seal not otherwise provided for is $10, plus $1 per page for copies of records in the notary's office. Statutes can be amended — confirm the current SOS schedule before relying on any dollar figure.

Important: The state maximum applies to the notarial act, not to your entire mobile invoice. Travel and convenience charges are separate where allowed. Online notarization has separate statutory fee rules (see § 406.111 and the SOS FAQ on online notary fees).

What usually changes a mobile quote (without fixed dollar ranges)

Notaries typically ask the same kinds of questions before quoting. Each one can change the total — exact amounts differ by provider and market.

1. Where are you? Distance, traffic, parking, and tolls affect travel-related charges.
2. When do you need the appointment? Evenings, weekends, and holidays may cost more than weekday daytime — only if that notary offers those times.
3. How urgent is it? Same-day or short-notice work depends on availability; it is not guaranteed.
4. What documents? Simple one-signature jobs differ from multi-page packages and loan signings.
5. How many signers / signatures? More parties and more notarized signatures can change the act-fee portion and the time on site.
6. Where will you meet? Home, office, title company, or another lawful location can affect logistics. Do not assume hospital, jail, or “emergency” coverage — confirm with the notary.

Loan signings vs general mobile notarization

A loan signing (purchase, refinance, HELOC, and similar packages) is usually longer and more coordinated than a single power of attorney or affidavit. Title companies often schedule a loan signing agent who is also a commissioned notary. Fees for that work are not a single Texas SOS “loan signing price”; they vary by package, travel, scanback or return instructions, and the agent’s terms.

Ask for:

• Whether the quote is all-inclusive
• Who prints the package
• How documents are returned
• What happens if the appointment is rescheduled

Questions that protect you from surprise fees

Before you confirm:

• What is the total if everything goes as planned?
• What could increase it (wait time, printing, extra signatures, parking)?
• What is the cancellation or reschedule policy?
• Does “after hours” apply to your preferred time?

NotaryHub routes Texas requests; it does not set notary prices or guarantee appointment times. Discuss fees directly with the notary who responds.

Bottom line

• State law caps the notarial act ($10 first acknowledgment signature + $1 each additional; $10 oath/jurat — §406.024 / SOS).
• Mobile totals vary because travel and convenience charges are separate and provider-specific.
• Loan signings, rush timing, and after-hours work are fee factors, not fixed statewide schedules.
• Compare all-in cost (and your time) against a store visit or RON when those options fit.
