Are we allowed to notarize quitclaim deeds? If yes, is the fee the same as any other document? — S. C., Ohio

As a Notary Public in Ohio, you may notarize a quitclaim deed and charge the same fee as any other notarization you perform.

Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors

Confronted with a tricky notarization? Unsure how to proceed? NNA members have unlimited access to our expertly trained NNA Hotline consultants to help you with all of your notarial questions. Call 1-888-876-0827, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. PST; Saturday, 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.

Why haven’t they raised the notarization fee in California ?

Hello. California last raised the maximum fee Notaries may charge in 2016 (please see this article: https://www.nationalnotary.org/notary-bulletin/blog/2016/04/california-fee-bill-support-notaries). For a current list of 2024 state Notary fee schedules by state, please see here: https://www.nationalnotary.org/knowledge-center/about-notaries/notary-fees-by-state

Hello. Bulletin 135 (https://www.in.gov/idoi/files/Bulletin-135-Title-Insurance-License-Requirements.pdf) issued by the Indiana Insurance Department states that anyone — including a Notary Signing Agent — who conducts a real estate closing must hold a title insurance producer license.
