For administering an oath or affirmation, and certifying it when required, the notarial fee is generally $2 unless another fee is specifically prescribed by statute.
For taking and certifying the acknowledgment or proof of a written instrument by one person, the fee is $2.
A notary may charge any fee desired for an electronic act because Part 182 does not mention fees.
For each additional person acknowledging the instrument, the additional fee is $2.
Correct Answer
C. A notary may charge any fee desired for an electronic act because Part 182 does not mention fees.
AI Explanation
Electronic fees are not unlimited just because the act is electronic. Executive Law §136 sets the classic $2 oath and acknowledgment fees, and §136(3) plus 19 NYCRR §182.11 provide for an electronically set fee framework for electronic services. For contrast, a notary cannot invent unlimited pricing merely because the record is digital.
