You charge what the state allows you to charge for a notarization, plus travel fees (which I think are limited in CT).
The type of document never has anything to do with what you can charge - you're notarizing a signature on the document, and the content of the document is not your concern.

In CT the MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY LAW ...
As a notary public you are allowed to charge the maximum:
$5 for each notarization and travel at 35 cents per mile. In CT, a notary public is NOT allowed to charge the IRS 51 cent per mile travel rate.
This can be confirmed with the Notary Public Unit attorneys at the CT Secretary of State's office.
Note: I'm notarizing a document shortly "as a courtesy" ($5 plus 35 cents per mile), because it is a physical impossibility for the signer to travel. The law does NOT require notaries to travel - with over 48,000+ notaries there's not need for a travel requirement. For the $5 fee, I generally request the signers come to my home office at my convenience. Otherwise, recommend their CSR at the local bank, real estate office, insurance office (even some attorney's secretaries will do this) or the Town Clerk's office.
