Are there statutory fees that Georgia notaries may charge for notarial acts?

• A. Yes; fees are set by law; consult the current fee schedule.
• B. No fees allowed.
• C. Fees are negotiated privately with the signer.
• D. Fees are set by the notary's discretion.

Answer: (A)

Georgia law fixes what notaries may charge for notarial acts and requires you to use the current fee schedule published by the state. This means there are set amounts for common acts, and you must consult the latest schedule to know the exact charges. The idea that no fees apply, that fees are negotiated privately, or that a notary can set any amount doesn’t fit, because the statute provides and limits the fees and expects adherence to the current schedule.
