How notary fees work in Maryland

Maryland caps the per-signature notarial fee a commissioned notary can charge, the same way every other state does. Mobile travel charges, after-hours premiums, and rush surcharges are negotiated separately and are not capped. For most Maryland signers, total cost runs $40–$150 depending on whether you walk into an office, book a mobile visit, or use remote online notarization. RON is the same $25 flat rate in Maryland as anywhere else.

Typical 2025 notary cost ranges in Maryland

In-office walk-in: $5–$15 per signature, capped by Maryland statute. Mobile notary (in-metro): $50–$100 travel + per-signature. Mobile notary (suburban/rural): $75–$150 travel + per-signature. Loan signing package: $125–$200 flat. Apostille (Maryland Secretary of State + service): $75–$200 per document. Remote online notarization: $25 flat per notarial act, 24/7. NotaSealPros publishes each Maryland notary's quoted price before you book — no surprise charges at the table.

Frequently asked questions

What's the maximum notary fee in Maryland?

Maryland sets a per-signature statutory cap by statute. Most signers pay between $5 and $15 per notarial act at the standard in-office rate, with mobile and after-hours premiums layered on top.

How much does a mobile notary cost in Maryland?

Mobile notary visits in Maryland typically run $50–$150 total — the per-signature fee plus a negotiated travel charge. Major metros cluster around $50–$75; suburban and rural visits run higher.

Is online notarization cheaper than in-person in Maryland?

Yes — RON is $25 flat per notarial act in Maryland, often less than mobile and competitive with in-office once you count travel time. RON is available 24/7 with no after-hours premium.

Are Maryland notary fees tax-deductible?

If the notarization is tied to a business expense, rental property, or investment activity, the fee is generally deductible. Personal-use notarizations are not. Consult your tax advisor.

Do Maryland banks charge for notarization?

Many Maryland banks notarize for account holders at no charge, but commonly refuse to notarize for non-customers, certain document types (POAs, wills), or anything requiring witnesses. Mobile and online notaries fill those gaps.
