California State law requires notaries to keep a complete journal entry (ten bits of data per line) complete with
signature and thumbprint for each person signing each document. This can be many lines and a couple of pages for a
purchase since each lender require their own list of notarizations. The minimum charge for a notary signature in
California is $10 per signature. You can see that a refi or purchase package should really be paying at least $150$200 per package just based on signatures alone. Copying the package twice, travel time, attaching state specific
jurats & or acknowledgments with our legal wording to each document etc. is also a factor
California
Government Code section 8211
Fees charged by a notary public for the following services shall not exceed the fees prescribed by this section.
(a) For taking an acknowledgment or proof of a deed, or other instrument, to include the seal and the writing of the
certificate, the sum of ten dollars ($10) for each signature taken.
(b) For administering an oath or affirmation to one person and executing the jurat, including the seal, the sum of ten
dollars ($10).
Government Code section 8211 specifies the maximum fees that may be charged for notary public services.
However, a notary public may decide to charge no fee or an amount that is less than the maximum amount
prescribed by law. The charging of a fee and the amount of the fee charged is at the discretion of the notary public or
the notary public’s employer, provided it does not exceed the maximum fees. The notary public is required to make
an entry in the notary public journal even if no fee was charged, such as “no fee” or “0.” (Government Code section
8206)
Exceptions: 1) Pursuant to Government Code section 8203.6, no fees shall be collected by notaries public appointed
to military and naval reservations in accordance with 8203.1; 2) Pursuant to Elections Code section 8080, no fee
shall be collected by notaries public for verifying any nomination document or circulator’s affidavit; 3) Pursuant to
Government Code section 6106, no fee shall be collected by a notary public working for a public entity for services
rendered in an affidavit, application, or voucher in relation to the securing of a pension; 4) Pursuant to Government
Code section 6107, no fee may be charged to a United States military veteran for notarization of an application or a
claim for a pension, allotment, allowance, compensation, insurance, or any other veteran’s benefit; and 5) Pursuant
to Government Code section 8211(d) no fee can be charged to notarize signatures on vote by mail ballot
identification envelopes or other voting materials.
A new law recently enacted by Governor Jerry Brown expands the journal thumbprint requirement for California
Notaries, while also placing further limitations on proofs of execution.
The new law, which goes into effect January 1, 2013, requires Notaries to enter signer thumbprints in their journal
for any document notarization affecting real property. This is in addition to powers of attorney, deeds, quitclaim
deeds, and deeds of trust that already require a thumbprint. It also prohibits Notaries from performing a proof of
execution by subscribing witness on any document that affects real property.
The California law has a potentially far-reaching effect because it broadly defines documents affecting real property.
As a result, it may be challenging for Notaries to determine if a document falls within the law’s scope without
reading the document or asking the signer directly.
