A notary public employed by a city government is asked to notarize an affidavit for a retired city employee to help the employee secure a pension benefit. What fee may the notary charge?

Detailed Explanation

No fee for pension-related notarizations by public entity notaries. Government Code section 6106 provides that no fee shall be collected by a notary public working for a public entity for services rendered in an affidavit, application, or voucher in relation to the securing of a pension. This is a mandatory zero-fee requirement distinct from the general public employee fee remission rule.
