What is the maximum fee allowed for taking and certifying one signature on an affidavit?

  1. $0.50

  2. $1.00

  3. $1.50

  4. $2.00

The correct answer is: $1.50

The maximum fee allowed for taking and certifying one signature on an affidavit is $1.50. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they are either too low or too high. According to the National Notary Association, the current recommended fee for this service is $5. While this is a recommendation and not a legal requirement, charging a significantly lower fee (such as $0.50 or $1.00) may raise concerns about the notary's professionalism and level of commitment to providing accurate and reliable services. Conversely, charging a higher fee (such as $2.00) may be considered excessive and unethical. Therefore, the most appropriate and accurate answer is $1.50.
