Answer

According to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 240.100, a notary public may charge a maximum fee of $15.00 for a jurat, for each signature on the affidavit. Since there are two signatures requiring a jurat, the total maximum fee is $15.00 x 2 = $30.00.

The travel fee must not exceed $30 per hour.

Answer

NRS 240.100(3) specifies that for travel between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., the agreed-upon hourly rate cannot exceed $30 per hour. The law also requires the notary to explain that the fee is separate from the notarial act fee and not required by law, and the client must agree in advance. The notary is entitled to the fee even if the act cannot be completed due to the signer's actions.

Question 3

$30.00

Answer

NRS 240.100 allows a notary to charge up to $15.00 for taking an acknowledgment for the first signature of EACH signer. Since there are two different signers, each requiring an acknowledgment for their first (and only) signature, the notary can charge $15.00 for the first signer and $15.00 for the second signer, for a total of $30.00.
