One of the most common questions people have before booking a notary appointment is a simple one: how much is this going to cost me? The honest answer is that notary fees in Ontario can vary quite a bit depending on the type of document, whether you need mobile or online service, and the notary you choose. This guide breaks it all down so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

Why Notary Fees Vary

Notary fees in Ontario are not regulated by a fixed government price list, which means different notaries set their own rates. What you pay will depend on the complexity of the document, how many documents need to be notarized in the same appointment, whether the notary is traveling to you, and whether you are going through an online platform or an in-office visit.

What Notable Notary Charges

Notable Notary publishes its full pricing online with no hidden fees, which is not something every notary does. Here is a clear breakdown of their current rates.

For online notarization, a single notarization starts from $34.99 plus tax. Additional notarizations during the same appointment receive a discount of 20 percent or more.

For mobile notarization, the fee starts at $25 per notarization plus a travel fee starting at $20 depending on your location in the Durham Region and surrounding areas including Whitby and Oshawa. If you have five or more documents to notarize in a single appointment, the per-document rate drops further.

For special agreements such as separation agreements, divorce agreements, prenuptial agreements, and cohabitation agreements, fees start at $59.99 for one notarized agreement and $99.99 for two, not including travel.

For wills and powers of attorney, pricing starts at $75 plus tax whether the appointment is online or in person. Bundle packages are available for individuals and couples that include a will, financial power of attorney, and personal care power of attorney starting from $149 for a single person and $249 for couples.

For apostille and authentication services, fees start at $125 per apostille and $60 for each additional one in the same order.

For real estate closings, a purchase or sale starts at $149 and both a purchase and sale together start at $249.

Is It Worth Paying More for a Mobile or Online Service?

For many people, absolutely yes. If traveling to an office means taking half a day off work or arranging childcare, the convenience of a mobile or online appointment more than justifies the modest additional cost. In areas like Ajax and Pickering where traffic and commute times are real factors, having a notary come to you can save you far more in time than you spend in fees.

One More Thing Worth Knowing

Notable Notary does not charge you until the end of your appointment for notary services, which removes any anxiety about paying for something before you know exactly what you received. Document drafting and authentication services are paid in advance, but all pricing is discussed clearly before work begins.
