Detention and Correctional Facility Visits:

Starting at $125 visit fee + $10 per notarial act

Pricing may vary based on the facility, distance, access requirements, appointment restrictions, parking, waiting time, and document instructions.

The client is responsible for confirming that the facility permits the visit and determining its identification, attorney, witness, and document-entry requirements.

Additional notarizations, witnesses, extended sessions, or special platform requirements may increase the price. The signer must successfully complete the platform’s identity-verification process and use an acceptable identification document.

Florida law allows online notaries to charge up to $25 for an online notarial act, while platform and other non-notarial services may be charged separately. Our quoted price will disclose the applicable charges before the session.
