How much can a notary make?

Notaries are very rarely able to make enough income to be self-supporting. Each state prescribes the maximum allowed notary fees which can range from $0.25 in some states to $10.00 in others. Many notaries also travel around and notarize loan documents and can get paid up to $100.00 for one of these signings. However, with the current economy the number of loan signings is low, and most notaries have had to obtain regular full time jobs to make ends meet.
