My friend paid $5 and I thought that was pretty steep because I had never paid more then $2.
We are located in NY, if that information is necessary.

Thanks to all who researched and answered in kind. I had a friend who a while ago was a notary and I thought that she had mentioned something about a cap.

According to the website I saw, they're only supposed to charge $2.00.
(I found that at http://www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/ntryfaq.html and there's probably information at that website on how to report someone that violates the law.)
The fee varies from state to state but is usually set by statute.

Dependening on the work involved, usually Banks are free.
If you expect the Notary to read, understand and ask the proper questions to validate identity witnesses, etc, if it takes hours of work expect a higher fee. Also Lawyers are Notaries.

Depends on the state. Our company sent several employees to notary training so they would do it for free for other employees.

NO... it is what hte market will bear. I just had my documentation notarized for free at the city hall. It all depends on where you go.

Ours is a capitalistic society! For services or product you may charge what ever you wish, unless it is an emergency situation!
This is why you must know the cost be for you accept the product or services! Once you accept, you are obligated to pay!
