Correct Answer
C. A notary may charge any fee desired for an electronic act because Part 182 does not mention fees.
Detailed 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.
