Bill > A03360

This bill amends the New York State Executive Law to increase the fees that notaries public can charge for their services from two dollars to five dollars. Specifically, the bill raises the fee for administering an oath or affirmation to five dollars, increases the fee for taking and certifying the acknowledgment or proof of execution of a written instrument to five dollars per person, and sets the fee for swearing each witness at five dollars. For electronic notarial services, the fee will continue to be set through regulation by the Secretary of State. The change represents a significant percentage increase in notarial fees, potentially providing notaries with more compensation for their official duties. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply updating the monetary amounts in the existing law, and is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
