New laws affecting notaries in Indiana take effect on July 1, 2018. Current notaries will be grandfathered in until your commission expires/renews. Among the changes:
Notaries can charge $10.00 per notarization. A notary may charge $10.00 per signature, including signatures within the same document. For example, a notary may charge $20.00 for authenticating a minor consent to travel, where both the mother and fathers identities were verified by the notary and in which both sign the document.
Notaries can charge a travel fee equal to or less than the federal mileage rate.
Notaries are prohibited from notarizing documents for themselves, their spouse, or any party that may directly benefit the notary or their spouse.
