MAXIMUM NOTARY FEES

SB 230 increases maximum fees that notaries in New Mexico can charge for specific services. It raises the cap from $5 to $12 per acknowledgment, oath, or jurat, and from $0.50 to $1.20 per page for copy certifications (with a $12 minimum total). The bill also raises the maximum technology fee from $25 to $60 per electronic notarial act. These changes would directly affect notaries and individuals needing notarization services, effective July 1, 2025. The bill was postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025.
