it is a NOTARY register, not a SIGNING register. Only notary info belongs in there. I keep all other info on my confirmation sheet.

Just the state allowed notary fee.

I personally do only what the state requires - nothing more, nothing less. I never put the document type, only the type of act. Again, if there is something special I want to make a note about (say some funky type document) , I put it on my confirmation for my personal reference.

About the signing fee, that needs to be recorded in another set of books - your register shows what you've done as a notary only.

I list the name or type of each document in my comments section in my journal.
