Clarification on FL notary fees
Is it $10.00 per stamp, or $10.00 per signature acknowledged?
I seem to find a different answer everywhere I look.

from your profile!
"Well versed in notary law"
Florida statutes are perfectly clear on notary fee. Read the statute pertaining to notaries and you will find a clear answer.

Thanks smart ass. The statute you refer to is 117.05(2)(a): "(2)(a) The fee of a notary public may not exceed $10 for any one notarial act, except as provided in s. 117.045."
Like I've said before, I know my law. How the state interprets "notarial act" is in question. Previous posts on this board say that the state regards it as "per signature"

"per notarial act" - a notarial act is a jura or an acknowledgment, not a signature!! Read your manual

And just what isn't clear about "notarial act"??
As you profess to have a legal background, what would your legal mind interpret a notarial act to be.
This is something you should know having been a Fl notary for at least a year.

My interpretation of "notarial act" may not be the same as the states. As I've said twice above, PREVIOUS POSTS SAY THAT THE STATE HOLDS THE POSITION OF "PER STAMP". I would say, if two people acknowledge to me that they signed a document, that's two acts. But if it is in one combined certificate of acknowledgment, the state may say that's one act.
Instead of trying to act like a know-it-all, why don't you just answer the damn question since you apparently already know?

Back off, Bobby...
"Instead of trying to act like a know-it-all, why don't you just answer the damn question since you apparently already know?"
You've got an attitude problem that will definitely not help you here. The absolute best you can hope for at this point is ridicule, and attacking one of the most knowledgeable people here is not going to make it any easier for you...
Why don't you just take your superior knowledge of the law and figure it out for yourself? It's not rocket science. Sylvia obviously knows the answer; heck, anyone who can read the FL notary manual (other than you, apparently) knows the answer. It's there in black and white; what is it that you're missing? How can you possibly claim to be knowledgeable about notary law when you don't even know the most basic stuff?
I said in an earlier post and will repeat it again - there are a lot of people here from your state who know a lot more about FL notary law than you do. Do yourself a favor - don't antagonize them, just shut your mouth and learn from them.
And if you still can't figure out what a "notarial act" is under FL law, you should probably call the SOS office and ask them - because unless someone takes pity on you, my guess is that you're not going to get a straight answer here...

You continually reminds us of how well versed you are
But your questions and comments do not support that contention.

Love this stuff
Every time I have a borrower say I am a notary and this looks like a way to make a bit extra I refer them to this board. That usually kills the competition. God bless you one and all.
In case you are interested--Merlot.

Seeing I am such a smart ass, I won't answer the damn question. And yes, I know the answer because I paid attention in notary education class.
And no, I am not a know it all! I do not know why a teenager - not fully cooked yet - thinks that cussing is going to get him the answers he wants. If I knew that, I may be a know it all.

First name calling, then abusive language Robert? And you consider yourself so well versed in notary law?....looks to me like you have a lot of studying to do. Last I heard, notary law isn't subject to your interpretation - if you need to know something, your SOS can answer your questions. I'm sure none of them will put up with your abusiveness either.

If you did your own research, being so knowledgeable and all, you would have found a description of a "notarial act" not only in the Governor's Reference Manual, but in many different areas, including the Cornell Law Library.
A referenced "Common Notarial Acts" document (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/18163/Common%20Notarial%20Acts.pdf) was prepared by the United States Notary Association (USNA) and presented to the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). You may want to read it after you read the Florida Governors Reference Manual for Notaries.
