A notary public is a public servant. I don't know about the laws in other states, but in Texas a fee can be charged for notary services, and the fees allowed are posted on the website for the Secretary of State....
Protesting a bill or note for non-acceptance or non-payment, register and seal $4.00; Each notice of protest 1.00; Protesting in all other cases 4.00; Certificate and seal to a protest 4.00; Taking the acknowledgment or proof of any deed or other instrument in writing, for registration, including certificate and seal: (1) for the first signature 6.00, (2) for each additional signature 1.00; Administering an oath or affirmation with certificate and seal 6.00; All certificates under seal not otherwise provided for 6.00; Copies of all records and papers in the Notary Public's office, for each page .50; Taking the depositions of witnesses, for each 100 words .50; Swearing a witness to a deposition, certificate, seal, and other business connected with taking the deposition 6.00; All notarial acts not provided for 6.00.
This is an excerpt from the Texas Secretary of State website:
"A Notary Public is a public servant with statewide jurisdiction who is authorized to take acknowledgments, protest instruments permitted by law to be protested (primarily negotiable instruments and bills and notes), administer oaths, take depositions, and certify copies of documents not recordable in the public records.
A Notary Public is, in the true sense of the word, "a public servant" and "an officer of the State of Texas", conveniently located in the community so that the notary may be of service to the public. Each Notary Public takes an official oath of office to faithfully perform the duties of the office, and to insure such performance, a notary public is required to post a $10,000.00 bond with the Secretary of State."
I would suggest going to the website for the Secretary of State of the state in which you live, and look up the information and laws pertaining to that state for more information.

As for a salary for a Notory Public, you would be in business for yourself. So the salary can range. If you are in the state of Fl, you can charge 10.00 for each notary seal for documents. You can also perform weddings. I am a notary myself, and you would have to do a lot of advertising to make it worth your while.

Fees are set by the state amount depends on what is being notarized lowest in Ca.is10.00
However if you travel to their location you can set the fee for doing so, and does not include the charge for notarizing. The salary would depend on how many clients you service.

Notary public is volunteers, and it is against federal law to accept payment for it.

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.
