In the State of Florida, standard notary fees are regulated by state law, but the total cost of your appointment depends on the type of service you select (In-Person Mobile vs. Remote Online vs. In Person Electronic) and any applicable travel or convenience fees.

Here is a clear breakdown of how our pricing works at CryAGN Mobile Notary Services LLC:

1. State-Regulated Base Notary Fees

By Florida statute, the maximum statutory fee a notary can charge strictly for the act of applying a seal and signature is:

• Standard In-Person Notarization: $10 per notarial act (per stamp/seal). 
• Remote Online Notarization (RON): Up to $25 per online notarial act. 
• In-Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN): $10 per electronic notarial act (per digital seal).
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Verification: $25.

2. Mobile & Travel Fees (For In-Person Services)

Because we bring the notary public directly to your doorstep, hospital bedside, or office, a Travel & Convenience Fee is added to the base notary fee. Travel fees are separate from the actual notarization cost and vary based on distance, time of day, and location: 

• Standard Travel: $0.67–$1.00 per mile (with a minimum $10 travel fee applied for locations beyond a 3-mile radius of our base area).
• After-Hours Care (10:00 PM – 8:00 AM): An additional convenience fee of $15–$25 applies for late-night or early-morning emergency signings.
• Holidays: An additional $25 fee applies for appointments scheduled on major holidays.

📝 Transparent Pricing Example:
If we travel to your home during normal business hours to notarize a single document requiring one signature, your total would be the $10 base notary fee + the applicable travel fee based on your distance.

3. Remote Online Notarization (RON)

If you prefer to skip the travel entirely and complete your notarization digitally from your phone or computer, our secure electronic platform fee starts at $25. This convenient, contact-free option includes secure identity verification, your digital seal, and tamper-evident document encryption. 

4. In-Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN)

If you prefer a completely paperless process but still want to meet with a notary face-to-face, we offer In-Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN). For this service, we meet with you physically at your location, but you will review and sign your documents digitally on our touchscreen tablet or laptop.

The cost structure for an IPEN appointment includes:

• Base Notary Fee: $10 per electronic notarial act (per digital seal).
• Technology/Platform Fee: A $10 convenience fee is applied per session to cover the use of our secure, encrypted electronic signing software and the generation of a tamper-evident digital certificate.
• Standard Travel Fees: Our regular mobile travel rates apply based on your location.

📱 IPEN Pricing Example: If we travel to your location during standard hours to digitally sign a single document requiring one seal, your total would be the $10 base notary fee + $10 technology fee + applicable travel fees.

(Note: For real estate e-closings or comprehensive loan packages utilizing IPEN, flat-rate package pricing is available. Please contact us directly for a customized quote.)

We believe in 100% pricing transparency. We will always provide you with a complete, itemized quote over the phone or email prior to confirming your appointment so there are never any surprises at the time of service.
