A Pennsylvania Notary is not permitted to charge more than the published rates on the PA Department of State website for a notarial stamp.
Notaries do assess administrative fees to cover their travel or their overhead such as copies and record keeping. These fees are appropriate as long as they are indicated as separate from the State fee, and they may vary from notary to notary.
