I recently needed a document of my own notarized and could not get in to my office so I went to the local UPS store to have it notarized. It was an acknowledgement that I had signed in advance but the notary insisted I had to sign "something" in front of him so he had me sign my signature on a blank piece of paper (not sure what that was supposed to be for).
He then charged me a total of $5.00 - $2.00 for "notarization" and $3.00 for "document processing". There was no "processing" of the document - he signed and stamped.
When I questioned the fee being more than the statutory max fee for an acknowledgement, he said that all UPS stores charge this "document processing fee" so it must be legal.....
Any thoughts on this? |
