Get a Document Notarized in Lamar County, AL
Here's what to expect at the Judge of Probate — fees, what to bring, and where to go.
Ala. Code § 36-20-74: “A notary public commissioned pursuant to this article is permitted a reasonable fee, not to exceed ten dollars ($10), for each notarial act performed. No fee may be charged by a state, county, or municipal employee for a notarial act performed during, and as a part of, his or her public service, unless otherwise provided by law.” So $10 is a CEILING for a commissioned notary, and a county employee notarizing as part of the job may charge nothing at all.
The Judge of Probate commissions notaries for the county (Ala. Code § 36-20-70) and may itself take an acknowledgment or proof of a conveyance (§ 35-4-24). A commissioned notary may charge a “reasonable fee, not to exceed ten dollars ($10), for each notarial act”, and § 36-20-74 adds that no fee may be charged by a county employee for a notarial act performed as part of their public service — so ask; it is often free at the counter.
