Each state has different laws regulating notaries public. You should check the state licensure website for your state. Ours does not require or prohibit charging fees for notary services. It also does not address mileage. It may be a question of how much you want to charge versus how much the public is willing to pay.
I always notarize for free, but then again, I would never agree to drive 45 miles to notarize a document. They bring the paperwork to me. I would say that, in absence of any state law governing the situation, you should use the most current mileage rate (I think it is 48.5 cents per mile) available at www.irs.gov

Some places do it for free, others charge a nominal fee. It should charge you less than $10 for the 3 forms, else you are getting screwed. Hospitals always have a notary available, as do funeral homes. Banks, Post Offices and Licensing services are a good bet, too. Or you can look it up in your local yellow pages.

First - if depends entirely on the state in which you are registered.
BUT, most states do not allow you to charge anything beyond the STATE SET fee. End of story. You don't get paid for your time. You don't get paid for your mileage. You don't get paid for your ink.
I'm registered in Texas and have been for 8 years.

Varies from State to State, check out local notary public web page for your state but be careful what you charge. They can be nasty if you charge to much.

Techically you cant charge more than the state rules (every state has a rule on the max amount)
BUT... if you were smart here's what you would do:
Charge for travelling: i.e. every mile = $1 or so...
Than charge seperatly for the notorization ($10 or so)
That way you aren't getting ripped off.

Does $75.00 sound reasonable?
Gas and time.
