Mobile Notary Fee. According to the Ohio Secretary of State office (which commissions and keeps records of all Ohio notaries public), a notary is permitted to charge a $5.00 fee per in-person notarial act. For an online notarization, you may charge a $25.00 fee per notarial act.

All notaries public authorized to perform online notarizations must be legal residents of Ohio and may only perform online notarizations when they are located in Ohio, although the signer can be outside of Ohio or outside of the United States at the time of the act.

The seller MUST personally appear, ensure all sections are completed, show ID, be sworn, and sign the title in the presence of a notary public. A seller who cannot appear may complete a BMV Power of Attorney form, authorizing another party to sign on their behalf before the notary.

A notary is not required to charge a fee for his or her services, but if a fee is charged, it cannot be more than $5.00 for each notarial act. A Virginia notary may notarize a document to be filed and used outside of Virginia if it is signed and notarized in Virginia.
