Notary
The general notary fee is $15 per notarized signature set by the State of California. Notary travel fees are $10 for travel within Turlock, CA.
A notary is someone who is legally empowered to witness and authenticate documents, administer oaths, take affidavits and depositions, and engage in other activities established by local law.
A notarized document will have a stamp or seal placed on it by the notary public. The seal indicates that the person who signed the document has shown sufficient proof that they are who they claim they are, that they signed the document willingly, and that sometimes under oath, the document is true and correct. If you are unable to understand what you are signing due to medication, intoxication, or cannot communicate with the notary, the notary should refuse to notarize the document.
